From NBA GameTime app: "I like every challenge. Defense is where I hang my hat. ... I look at it as an opportunity to show [what I can do]. Every time I'm not on the All-Defensive team that pisses me off. I'm checking the best player every night ... and I feel like I'm not getting credit for it." -- Wesley Matthews on what motivates him to defend the opponent's best player on a regular basis. "Wes is a warrior. He took a challenge on James Harden and was physical and tenacious. ... He's as good a competitor as I've been around." -- Blazers coach Terry Stotts on Matthews' value to the team.
