I'd love to come back, but I think they're pretty well set. I'll be playing somewhere. The league is going to have to drag me off the floor.

I definitely want to play one more (year).

In a game like this, you hope you correct all the things you need to correct. We did some good things, but we had some injuries. Dirk came back and showed great leadership. That's what your leaders do.

At the end of the season every year, they play like this. They play good, but they ain't going no ... where.

It's not all going to be roses all the time. Right now, we're going through a little something. I've never seen a team that didn't go through something. Some teams find a way to get out of it. Some teams don't. Now it's time for us to get out of it.

It's not too stiff. I'll be at practice on Friday and I'll be ready to play on Sunday.

I took the challenge against Mike James. I love the challenge. But I knew he was shooting the ball well, playing well. All I did was try and put pressure on them, and I know pressure better than anybody. Pressure doesn't bother me. What I tried to do was get them to turn the ball over, make them play my game.

This is what you want to take down to San Antonio. This team has shown so much character all season. And we're not done.

They fell into something they didn't want to fall into and it was the Mavericks.

This isn't about winning 55 or 60 games. It's about winning a title. That's what we were built for.
