    What?s your reaction to getting positive results back from your MRI?
    Well, it?s great news. I think I was lucky. I think it could have been a lot worse after seeing the replay last night. I was really fortunate that nothing major happened to the key ligaments. Basically what happened last night is that I?ve never had a knee injury before and I was just in shock. I had pain and I didn?t know what to do? I couldn?t move it. Already last night, it started feeling better and this morning I could walk around so it? s a lot better than I thought at first.

    If you are unable to play in Sunday?s game or in the games following, are you confident in your team?s ability to win without you?
    I think we would still have a good team, everyone would just have to step up scoring wise. Nick (Van Exel) is going to have to have a good game off the bench?. Steve (Nash) and Mike (Michael Finley) have to do their thing, and everyone off the bench has to come in aggressive and score. I think we? ll be in pretty good shape.

    What?s your take on the media writing the team off after Game 3?
    They really didn?t give us a chance before. We?re not going to win the Portland series, we?re not going to win the Sacramento series? none of the reporters gave us a chance in either series. I just think in basketball that anything is possible and every game has to be played before a team can be written off.

    Man forget the critics I still have faith that the Mavs can beat the Spurs, and yes I agree with Dirk the media shouldnt of written them off so early.
