I'll never forget him pulling me down by the neck in a game (last season) and the referee calling a foul on me. Tonight, it's another situation where the foul is called on me, and I don't understand. |
I'm definitely not packing seven suits. We obviously have a job to do. There's not too many jobs where people can play and make the money we make. You just focus on getting your rest, bundle up for different climates, eat right and deal with all the different time zones and everything else. |
I'm happy we won. I felt really bad to sit in the locker room and not be out there to help my team. I want to apologize to them, the organization and the fans. |
I'm usually taking my charges on somebody driving to the basket out of control and their momentum is coming toward me. Whereas the Big Guy is just taking one step back and guys are falling. He doesn't really even have enough momentum to charge those guys. |
I've been working hard this year to try to fit in. Tonight, they gave me the opportunity to make shots. |
If you look at the better teams in the league when they get a team down they finish out the game. That's kind of what separates us from those teams right now is playing 48-minute games. |
If you're not making shots and you're not playing defense, you get a score like we got. |
Instead of saying, 'This guy is supposed to rotate here and this guy is supposed to rotate there,' if you see it, just pull the trigger and cover for that guy, and somebody has to cover for you. That's all out of reaction and you don't have to think about it. |
It doesn't feel good; they've beaten us 14 out of the last 15 games. |
It feels good. New Jersey put a tremendous amount of pressure on us. They were breathing down our neck. |
It is a game I'll never forget as long as I play the game of basketball. Obviously it's always in the back of our mind, how close we were last year. |
It is one of those situations where I have to step up and stick on the shooter and let the guard take his chances down there. I am thinking a step ahead. I am thinking if somebody rotates, then I have to rotate. |
It was a good win, but we still have work to do. We're not where we want to be right now. |
It's a tremendous loss. No matter how much time he gets or what the situation is, he's one of the guys you could count on every night to give us everything he has. |
It's coming down the stretch, and we've already got enough guys out. Personally I feel like I have to play. |
