He's established himself as a guy to have that confidence to take that shot. |
He's our go-to guy, especially down the stretch. We post him up a lot as well. It's going to be a tough challenge for us, but I think it's something that we're all up to. |
I didn't realize how injured I was and how much rest my body needed throughout the summer, |
I felt at the beginning of the season, and I still do, that we have one of the top backcourts in the league. We just have to continue to play like it. |
I just feel bad because maybe I rushed myself back a little bit too soon. It's been frustrating for me with my ankle and all that. I'm just not myself. |
I Like Chris Paul a lot. He was one of my favorite players when I watched him at Wake Forest. I used to talk about him a lot. I like what he's doing with that team. I like the way he's running the (pick and roll) and adjusting to the whole NBA system. He's definitely, if he continues to work, is going to be a great guard, an All-Star in this league. |
I missed (playing). As for suspensions, I'll never get suspended again. |
I think the defensive energy was there, it's just we got our hand caught in the cookie jar. |
I tried not to push off too hard on it. |
I used to always brick, ... I used to always do like UCLA or Indiana late game, on the road, and I'll always miss. |
I was supposed to go on pick and roll, but I got isolated, and usually I can get a shot off. Tonight, I wasn't able to do it. ... I was confident I would be able to get a shot off. That's something I live for. I'm very disappointed in myself. |
I'm definitely going to get back. I don't care if it's three games left, four games left, as long as I get back to my full capacity. I think it's in my best interest and my team's best interest that I get healthy and really let the ankle rest. |
I'm just using this training camp as a base to build up my strength, ... We've got a good month until the season starts. We're not in a rush. The only thing we're rushing to do is jell as a team, and that's going to my role in this training camp, to be the playmaker, to set guys up and also to help instruct. |
If you don't outwork your opponent, you're not going to win. And tonight, we got outworked, we got bullied, we got pushed, and we didn't push back until it was too late. |
It just makes me hungrier. |
