BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Yeah, a little bit. We got Booz who can opt out, Memo (Okur) can opt out and Kyle (Korver) can potentially opt out. Paul (Millsap) will be a free agent. There's just a lot of things that can change come next year. Why you've got the team intact and a team that we've had for the last three years, we've got to try to make the most of that opportunity. 
There's a seating ritual, it's not assigned, anybody can sit wherever, but we've all got our spots ... I'm fourth from the end. It goes Matty (Harpring), Jason Hart, Ronnie Price, myself, Paul (Millsap), C.J., Kyle (Korver) and then the coaching staff.
When I first got her, she was using the bathroom everywhere, jumping on furniture, jumping on (teammates C.J. Miles and Paul Millsap) when they came over
I mean, there's gonna be games where we're gonna explode and me and DWill (Williams) will have 30 points each. Most games we're gonna have 20. But there's gonna come a game when Memo (Okur) is gonna have 30, Matty (Harpring) have 25, Paul (Millsap) may have 20. You know, you expect us (he and Williams) to play well ... But the great thing about it is we have guys that come off the bench, or even guys that start, that give us a huge lift. Like A.K. (Kirilenko) in the first game.
We ended up having to go with Andrei and Matt Harpring in place of Boozer some and Paul Millsap the second half ... They had foul trouble a little bit, and Andrei, I thought, had a terrific game. We played him at 4, and he did a nice job finding people, getting people the basketball, and making some plays himself. That's really encouraging for us.
I'd rather get out there and play. I love basketball ... And I love playing in this environment. It's hard for me to miss out on a game.
After the fall, I felt real bad. The day after I couldn't walk hardly ... I heated it, iced it and played through it.
I've been blessed to have a body that's durable ... I work hard in the offseason for that situation for injury prevention.
That's the thing you appreciate in players guys that give it to ya every day ... He's done that and made himself a better player.
It's tough to single a guy out for hustling because everybody should hustle ... He's played well since starting. He's making the most of his minutes.
