Are you gonna be tough, or are you going to be tough? |
At first I couldn't grasp why he was always so hard on me. But I realize now he just wants me to be a great player. He knows that in my background no one ever really got on me. But he's not afraid to give me some tough love to make me better. |
Coach is going to have our backs, good or bad, and I think guys appreciate that. It feels good that your coach is sticking up for you, letting them know how you feel. But at the same time, we need to just play the game instead of complaining and whining about the calls. |
Coming off a back-to-back tough game against Chicago, fatigue set in at the end of the game and that leads to turnovers. |
Grant came out tonight and knew we needed a win. We needed him offensively and he stepped up. |
He knows when it's crunch time, he's going to get the ball and do what he needs for his team to win. He's the MVP. |
He's a pretty talented player, but he hasn't had a chance to show his talent. I think it's just opportunity. He gets another opportunity down here. Hopefully he'll look at it as a chance to play. |
He's a tough guy to guard. Sometimes you can't do anything about him scoring. You just have to run back down the court. |
He's back and I'm glad to see him on the court with us. |
Hopefully he won't look at it as a bad deal by Detroit. He will look at it as a chance to come in and really get a chance to play. |
Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll get my invite. Actually, tomorrow I should have my invite. |
I can't blame anybody but myself. I'm a leader of the team. It's my fault. He [Coach Brian Hill] had to do that. |
I can't wait. Everybody on this team is a hard worker, and I'm sure they're going to work to get better as individuals. |
I didn't get into his ear. |
I don't need to be like, 'Hey, throw me the ball.' But I guess I do need to put some bass in my voice. One of the things that coach Hill says is that he needs me to be more aggressive to get the ball. |
