(Yao) looked real good tonight. He was patient in the post and did what he had to. Yao is getting better ever year. You can see it.

We're all following his lead. It seems like he's going down the right path. I would give him the same respect as I would give a Phil Jackson or a Larry Brown. I haven't had any problems with his discipline, except for maybe his ban on headbands.

If that's how he feels, that's how he feels. I have no problem with that. No problem at all.

We didn't play too much defense and it didn't work out from there. They were able to do whatever they wanted to do. The Kings didn't surprise us, we just had a bad game.

Tonight we stayed in the game. We didn't get down when they came back.

Kevin had a great game. We have some smaller guards out there so he was able to do a lot more things. He had it going and was on fire.

He was penetrating, and I was cheating real hard. I left Lamar open and I just reached. I hit all ball and it came back to me. I went down and scored the ball.

It's over with. It's done. I found someplace I can call home. I'm going to be here the next six years, hopefully.

I cheated real hard, I left my arms open. I just reached, and I hit all ball, and it came back to me.
