My ability to play off the pick-and-roll, open plays for other guys and use my athletic body to catch lobs, that's what I do every night.

 no insurgency. Talk to anybody who was over there in the first six months. We had six months to feel the lob, to get the job done, and we dicked around for six months. And then they turned on us.
