It's that time of year. You've got to play well every game. Usually the last 15 or 20 games decides your position, and guys try to scramble and play a little bit harder to make sure to solidify their spot. |
Luckily I made him (Kirilenko) pay, leaving me open in the corner. My teammates had confidence to come to me down the stretch, and luckily I made the baskets. |
My heart is still pounding. It's an unbelievable feeling, especially when the clock's going down, 3-2-1, like that. |
Now they know how we felt after that game. The ball was bouncing on the rim, and went in. Hopefully that's on their mind going into the next game. |
Ron has really turned this team around. He got everybody to step it up another level, especially on the defensive end. We're just playing well right now. |
Sacramento's my new love, so I'm going to take this first date and hopefully make a marriage out of it. |
That right there tells you all you need to know about who he is. Any team with Ron is getting a lot of positive things. People only talk about the negative. A lot of guys on our team can relate to that. |
That's our motto right now, how we finish. |
The only thing that could be better is if it won a world championship for my team. |
They beat the life out of us, basically. |
They came to our house last week and stole a victory so we wanted to definitely return the favor. Every game right now is very important for us and down the stretch, they don't get any easier. |
They embraced me after the struggles I had in my past, and they didn't think nothing of it. If you're wearing that uniform, they treat you like you're their newborn child. |
They started out fast and jumped us and I just tried to bring a little energy that probably was lacking a little bit. |
Usually you never win games when you get out-rebounded like that. Fortunately, we shot the ball well. |
We are just going to try and change those percentages. |
