Heyyyyyy World!!!! What up??? We’re in OKC, getting ready to play those young guns with the Thunder. I had one of the best games of my life in OKC last year, getting my first triple-dub with 10 blocks, so maybe I can do it again on Sunday.
Our coach kind of let us have it after we beat Detroit on Friday, and I guess we deserved it because we didn’t play as good a defense as we should. We know that we can score with any team in the league, but what is going to help us get back to the finals and win a championship is our defense. We’ve got to make a better effort on defense every night and not let up.
Right now, we’re just fouling way too much. We’ve got to learn to move our feet better, stop fouling and find a way to stay on the floor.
Coach Van Gundy is right that we have to try and be great every night. We can’t get content with just winning if we’re not out there playing Magic basketball. And that means being physical and playing tough, hard-nosed defense.
I knew we’d bounce back against Detroit because we were so upset they beat us up there earlier in the week. We were in the locker room up there in Detroit the other night talking about how we’d play the Pistons differently next time around. Now, we’ve got to go back up there later in the season and win in Detroit. They’ve beaten us a lot and we’ve got to beat them up there.
I played better the other night because I was more patient. I let the double-team come to me and then I made the right play. That’s how I have to approach it … let the defense make their move and then go to work.
It’s cool being back in OKC. It reminded me of that game here last year. That’s my only triple-double ever. When the media asked me about that game the other night I told them I had forgotten it, but I was lying ya’ll. That was one of my favorite games ever. Now, we gotta go do it again on Sunday.
Well, I’m outta here. Ya’ll root us on against the Thunder ‘case those young cats for the Thunder will be ready to play. We just have to play Magic basketball and we’ll be fine.
