My first coach in the NBA, Johnny Davis, used to tell me that if I wanted the ball to go get it off the offensive glass. I knew going into this game that if I wanted what I call touches that I had to crash the boards and dominate the game defensively and rebounding.

I know that there are other ways to dominate a game than on scoring. My team needs me to be a beast in the lane for us to win. I tried to go after every ball last night and see if they could stop me.

That was a really good win for us because we had to fight and scrap for every possession. We didn’t shoot it too well and we missed too many free throws (especially me!!!), but we did keep fighting for 48 minutes. We know now that we have to play all 48 against the Celtics because the champs aren’t going to stop fighting.

I guess if I learned anything the past few days after my comments in Game 5 it’s that I need to keep my mouth shut sometimes. Otis had me in his office and we talked about how there are better ways to deal with problems than I did. I’m still young, still learning and I’m going to make mistakes sometimes.

I’ve thought all along that we were going to win this series and I still believe that. If we fight and play as hard as we did in Game 6, I think we’ll come out on top . I’m so excited about playing in my first Game 7, and I just have a feeling that it’s going to be a great night for us up in Boston.
