(The Americans) need to learn to play together. When we beat USA, it always was because they had some problem on the team, they don't want to play, or somebody's angry with the coach because they played 5 minutes.

At home we've played very bad. That's the reality. We finished good, but we had problems at home.

At the end, I noticed they were a little angry and frustrated, but that's to be expected.

I don't care. I want to work for the team, and that's it. I don't think about improved player, sixth man. If my teammates know I'm improved, that's enough.

I played a good game, but I'm happy because the team won. That's the most important. I played good last game, but the team lost. For me, the most important thing is the playoffs.

I played a good game, but I'm so happy because the team won. The last time I played well and we lost. For me the most important thing is to make the playoffs.

It's still going to be hard. It's going to be hard, but it's not impossible.

Play hard, play D, [get] good rebounds, and take my shots.
|
Shoot 25 balls in one minute? It's impossible for me. It's not my game. I know that.
|
Sometimes we have pressure in the last five minutes and today that happened again. I think everybody is thinking about that. Everybody has to play relaxed and make free throws and hit the open shots. We are professionals.

This is the right way. This is good because on a national team you can't have 12 star players. You need role players. Can't play with 12 star players. Too many want the ball, too many want to play.
