We shouldn't even get paid for this game. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Bobcats, they played a heck of a game, but we feel like we are at another level. I felt like we were the expansion team tonight. I'm thoroughly embarrassed.

We are a terrible defensive team right now. We're not putting forth the maximum effort that we need to put forth, especially in our position. You'd think that we'd put forth that maximum effort to not only win the game, but to get a good rhythm to get into the playoffs.

I think if I had one year of college, I'd have done better with the mental part [of the NBA].

If my team isn't motivated, it's my fault. I can't consider myself the best of the best until my team is able to get out of the first round.

If I can go to the U.S. Army and fight the war at 18 why can't you play basketball for 48 minutes?

I always find a couple of hecklers... I'll kinda look at them, stare at 'em, and let them know I can't be stopped.
