If I'm on the weak side and one of my players is on the strong side and he's coming to the basket, I might just pull on the guys shorts --and that's not going to show up in statistics --but the player on my team knows that guy couldn't come over because I pulled him. How do you measure that?

I'll take Baron half, full, three-quarters, he's just as effective. He can make things happen. His presence alone creates opportunities for other people.

I'm certainly not going to sit here and say I'm happy that I'm the guy singled out. I'm not saying I've been playing great, but I'm not the only one who's causing us to lose.

I missed the one before and I knew Baron would keep coming, and I didn't want him to take my head off, ... His presence alone creates opportunities for other people.

It's possible. In this game, you either produce or not.

It was extremely difficult, ... Coach felt like he needed to make a change, and he did, and I was the person that got changed. For whatever reason, right or wrong, as a player you're still trying to figure out what you did wrong.

People don't see what an incredible will he has. There's a lot of leaders that are good who are not able to kind of get the message across, bend people to his will. I think that Baron has an amazing and infectious gift that he can come into a locker room and really make people believe and really make people better. I think people have seen him have fun with the game, but they haven't seen the kind of forceful personality he has.

I wanted to give Mike an opportunity to create but I realized the clock was running down so I heaved the ball up.

Everybody in the Bay Area wanted this team to be in the playoffs, and all of the players wanted it as well. But we did not meet the expectations everybody had for wins and losses for this team. A lot of people may see it as a disappointing year.

You have to start making those an intrinsic part of what you do. I think the more we do that, the better we're going to be as a team.
