We had a great preseason. The guys responded with what coach (George Karl) wanted early on in pace of the game, togetherness and defensive intensity. We've improved in those areas with a couple of setbacks, but we've improved each game.

The NBA needs more of that 'it's-about-us-against-them' mentality.

When you don't have much and you need to be at work, there's no such thing as being sick.
