I want to be a point guard; I believe that's my position. I don't mind playing two-guard, but I wasn't very comfortable there, and it was noticeable in my play. |
I was more aggressive. I was looking for my shot. I didn't go into New Jersey (Tuesday) and do many things. I was just trying to get my first game under my belt and move on. The season is very long. The most positive thing for me is I'm more comfortable with every minute. That's the only thing I can ask for right now. |
I would like to have some kind of role on this team, there's no question about it but ultimately we help Pacers to win, ... Don't get me wrong. I would like to play. I would like to play a lot. That's not a question. But we're one month away from the season, and there's so much more important stuff than your role on the team. If you're in shape, if you come ready to play, if you take care of your body, then that other stuff will take care of itself. I really believe that. |
I'm not the guy who will take many shots, ... Some games I might, just because of the way the defense will work. I haven't really been the one who's shooting a lot. I much more prefer to get my teammates involved and make sure the team is running properly. I would like to take 20 shots, don't get me wrong, but it might not happen. |
I'm not worried; it's something everybody goes through. I'll be fine. It's not the first time that I've been in this situation. The thing that matters to me is that the team is playing good basketball and we're turning things around now. |
I'm really running out of things to say. It's not about the losing; it's how we're losing. You can lose fighting, but we're not even doing that. It seems like we're taking the losing very lightly. |
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs were just better. |
It's a nice feeling, probably a feeling we haven't had since the beginning of the year. We just need to concentrate and be professional about it and keep it going. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but it's better to win three in a row than to lose six (in a row). |
It's going to be a big development for me. I've never played at this level. Hopefully I can make it quick. I am still a rookie. It's going to be an adjustment, no doubt about it. I just hope it's going to be a quick one. |
It's strange, but I wanted it, ... This is exactly what I was expecting. I have to learn the system and learn the way of playing here. |
It's the same struggles. The days we play hard, we're shorthanded. The days we're full, we don't play hard. We can't put two and two together; it's as simple as that. |
Jackson hit a lot of big shots. I thought that everyone stepped up. This was a big win for us. |
Mentally, you're preparing yourself for the higher pace and things like that, but you can't know about it until you experience it. So I'm looking forward to it. |
Sometimes we are very good, and other times we are very bad. Hopefully, we can get in the playoffs and do well. |
Sometimes we prove we're a resilient bunch and get through all these problems and show how good we can be. Sometimes we're not so good. Lately we've been all right. Lately our attitude and how we approach the game has been much better. We just have to keep fighting and hopefully we can get the guys healthy and make a run. |
