Losing a basketball game hurts but when you see what you've been through, you look on it and say well if this is the worst thing that can happen to me, then I'm okay.

I've always been an unselfish guy, and that's the only way I know how to play on the court and I try to play to the maximum of my ability - not only for myself but for my team-mates.

I'm very, very confident in my ability to see the game - even before it's played.

We did what we are supposed to. We protected home. We have to try to do it again Thursday night.

When you get to know some of the history of the game, Oscar Robertson is one of the names that pops up first.

I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.
