Quotes by NBA Player Dirk Nowitzki
All I can do is keep working at it. We have to get points in the paint and fewer jump shots. That's what Avery wants. It doesn't really matter if it's penetration or posting up. But Detroit has three or four big boys in there.

Every game (against Memphis this year) was hard fought. I think they are a well-coached team. They're one of the best defensive teams in the league. They can spread the floor with all of their shooters around. That's their strength. They're a tough team to play and a tough team to beat. It's going to be a fun series.

He's one of the best shooters in the league and we found him in transition. He ran right to the line and when he gets his feet set, he can shoot with the best of them. Those shots kind of put (Portland) away.

I have to do more on the court that I didn't have to do when Steve was here. I want to get my team involved more and more in the future. I think that's something that comes with experience. Hopefully I can be in this position for a couple more years and just get better at it.

I honestly think Doug can help us a lot, but for that to happen he has to stay healthy, ... I'm not one to judge a player on his age. It all comes down to whether he is good or not.

I like our chances on the road, and we're a good road team. We have guys who can hit big shots down the stretch, and we've won big games on the road. It's another good test.
