More Quotes from Paul Pierce:
Definitely it's different now. I think so. I think the ball is moving around a lot more. Guys are playing unselfish, looking for the next pass. I mean, I think it's obvious with the way the ball's swinging around that we're different.Paul Pierce
I think Marcus is like a lot of guys in the league. He needs the minutes to get comfortable with the system and the coach, and Marcus never really got that with us. He never was really comfortable in Doc (Rivers') system the whole time, but I think he has the ability to be a good player in this league. He's a lock-down defender and he has a nice touch from the outside. I put him in the same mode as a (Warriors guard) Derek Fisher.

I'm just going out playing the way I know how to play. We're just having fun, staying positive. We feel like we can win each game. We turned it around ever since we gained a lot of confidence out west and I think it's starting to carry over.

A lot of the times, the ball came into my hands and everybody was watching. Memphis did a great job. When I would put the ball on the ground and come off the pick-and-roll, they would corral, trap with two or three guys and made me make the extra pass.

It's a great individual accomplishment, but I'm not here for the individual accomplishments. ... I don't go into every game trying to score 30 points. I'm just trying to win.
