It was definitely an empty feeling coming into the game knowing we had no chance for the playoffs. My heart really sank. |
It was emotional out there with him going at me and I was going right back at him. We did have a little mouth battle going on out there. That little stare, I don't know what that was. I just reacted and it was fun. |
It was more of me rushing my shots than anything. That's the biggest thing for me. I was making good moves, but at the end of my moves, I was rushing all my shots. I learned a lesson. |
It's hard for me to block basketball out, but I'll try to stay away from it for a good month and a half. I expect us to be a little more serious, a little more business-minded next year. No team is going to give us anything. |
It's kind of a bad thing to lose Grant. But it's only preseason. |
It's not good to lose a big lead. We've got to bury teams when we get 'em down. This is like the second or third time where a team has come back and we had to make an extra push to win the game. When we get teams down, we've got to keep 'em down and not let 'em come back. |
It's not impossible to win them all. You try to win every game. We've got six at home, where we've been playing well. If we keep playing hard and playing together like we have been, anything is possible. |
It's sort of like I got it, but I've got to make sure I get a confirmation on it. |
Man, we're supposed to get wins like that, ... That's a tough loss. |
Maybe we're not mentally ready for a playoff series right now. But physically, I think we can compete with any team. |
Oh, man. We were embarrassed. |
Our coach said before the game, we got three good teams coming up in Miami, Dallas and San Antonio. We want to go out and try to beat all three teams. We started off tonight with a good win. |
Playing a top team like the Heat, with all their veterans, really lets us know where we stand. You could see we need a couple more days to regroup. |
Really, it's an honor and I thank God that the team looks at me that way. I just want to try and be the kind of player that they think I can be. |
Riding that bike and the little sideline running isn't basketball. My timing is still off, but it's basketball. It's what I do. |
