Right now, we're not a team. I think we're genuinely happy for each other when we're out there on the court. We've got to find new and different ways to support each other on the floor. The comfort zone that we've been in, we've got to change it a little bit. Everybody has onus on this team. It's easy for someone to say, 'I play only 10 minutes a game, so they're not talking about me.' But that 10 minutes is just as important. |
Sometimes it's like I have to remind myself that that really happened. We were a good team ... Not a long time ago, but last year. It's funny how things change so fast. |
That's not a cure, ... That's something that treats the symptom ... I feel like I would breathe a lot easier and sleep much better if I didn't have this swelling under my eyes. |
That's Reggie. I don't think he was playing any different because it was us. He's always one to get in the game and play hard. He knows how to play us, he knows what we're going to do. |
The discipline stuff, I'm going to leave that to the coaches and management, |
The guys that we have potentially may or may not be here next year. Organizationally, if our chances are slim to make the playoffs, we have to focus on who is going to be here in the future. It seems like a logical move. Our young guys have been playing well. It does get frustrating when you feel like you have to play for next season. |
The guys that we have right now have to go. We can't look behind us at what has happened. It is five on five, and we have to go with whoever we put out there. |
The Hornets were out-hustling us to every ball. I wont say that we were slow; we were just getting beat on each possession. The team that comes out and plays hard every night is the team that is going to win regardless of what their records are. |
The only thing I could think of was going back to Arco Arena. I didn't want to do that, |
The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth. |
The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice. |
The way we played in the last game (a 99-74 loss to Memphis on Wednesday), it was just a difference in attitude. We started the first half tonight with that same muddy approach. We were lethargic and really didn't have any enthusiasm and we got chewed out at the half. |
There are a lot of things I could have done better to help this team. I take full responsibility. I feel I let Bob Weiss down as a coach. He was a guy you could trust and count on. My heart goes out to him. |
There were a lot of blatant fouls missed, but I just have to adjust to it. The touches that I am getting are sufficient. You figure six or seven free throws does wonders for me and for the team. I feel like I am going to the hole, but it's not like I'm getting the benefit of the doubt. |
There's nothing shooting wise that I focus on. I just try to take what I'm given. As many threes as I've taken, I don't think there's a three I've taken that I didn't think I could make. |
