I think you can get too focused on the championship and forget how rewarding it is to be part of a team.
It's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter.
My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.
Raja and Kurt are always there for us, physically and mentally. They always make it difficult for the other team and always give us a chance to win.
It's out of our control, so we've got to go out and make the most of what we have and not worry about the piece we're missing. We'll try to build our team and hopefully be a better team when he returns.
For the most part I try to just stay focused not on my play but on our team.
I love being part of a team, any team. Not just playing, but the camaraderie, the whole thing. It's just what I get off on.
We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.
We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.
That's the key to our team. We have so many weapons. You can just pick your poison.
I am thrilled to be an Olympian, and I think that although we will be underdogs we can beat many teams and will be a surprise in Sydney.
