I had a great day. It was fun. |
I had a little talk with my little man last night. I told him it was bad timing. I was rolling in the first half, we were winning. We're finally winning at halftime and I got the call. I never hesitated. I had to go. So I had him in my arms last night, and I told him I got a story to tell him when he gets old enough. |
I just felt good in the second half, ... I got my shot back. After you hit two or three shots in a row, you just kind of feel it. Once you get that feeling, you're in a zone. I don't care what defense they throw at you. It helped that I had others knocking down shots. It just opened things up for me. |
I just felt real comfortable, despite being out for awhile. When I caught my second wind toward the end of the game, I was fine. I just felt like any defender that was guarding me was pretty much at my mercy. |
I knew I could. It's all confidence. I don't ever lose that. |
I picked up my dribble too early. I could have kept going. I didn't realize how wide-open I was. Those guys were hanging off me all night. I didn't have much space to work with. |
I rarely get any rest in a game, always playing 44 to 48 (minutes). Tonight, with the guys contributing, making shots and playing extremely well, I had a chance to rest, sit down and gather myself a little bit to where I came in in the fourth quarter fresh and was able to close out the game. |
I really didn't have my legs. The timing is much different in a game from what we do in practice. But when I sensed myself coming out, I tried to get myself going on the offensive end. |
I think he's passed them. He's fulfilled all the expectations and then some. |
I think it's safe to say we have been playing well in the month of February. With everything that's been going on in our season, this is good for us to take the opportunity to relax and sit back and gather ourselves together and get focused for the remaining 29 games of the season. |
I think the best thing for me is to wear (a mask) the way it feels to prevent any further damage. |
I think the intensity from the beginning of the first quarter was there. Our overall concentration was there. We knew what we needed to do, and it helps when our shots are falling as well. |
I think with the team we have, he is a perfect fit for us. |
I told my coach that's how I felt, that I really felt like leaving and not tell people where I was going, just getting away for a few days and just clearing my mind. I need peace of mind right now. It's all just piled up on me and broken me down. |
I want it to come here. That would be a huge honor. It would be an accomplishment I would definitely want in my career. |
