[On being frustrated] A little bit (frustration) is normal, you get frustrated when you miss your shots, but we’ve got to do a better job on Monday. We’ve got to attack them a little harder, go strong to the rim, finish hard and forget about everything else. |
[On the game ] We shouldn’t have gotten beat by twenty something points this game. We didn’t play well, we weren’t sharp, we just didn’t play the way we were supposed to play this game. They played tough, they tried to send me baseline, they locked me up down under the glass and I just took too much time to make the plays. I wasn’t smart enough to attack them. |
[On the Spurs] It was like they’ve been playing all season. They have a tough defense, they dig inside. They are just a tough defensive team. They’ve got some big guys inside and they do a good job, especially at home. |

All the stats don't mean a thing if we don't get the win. The most important stat is the win. Nothing else really matters if you don't get the win, but it's always easier when things are good. |
At times, we didn't even compete. |
Fran Vazquez played a great game, Navarro was outstanding, |
Germany is a difficult team who have a star player, |
He wanted me to keep shooting and not refuse to shoot because I was missing. Like Eddie told me once, he's been in all the different scenarios -- been the main guy, the No. 2 option, and the third option. He knows how it feels. |
He was really on me. But we had a nice mismatch there, and I just had to shoot over him. |
He's played more minutes today than in the previous three games, and it's difficult mentally to achieve that, but he's done it. |
Hopefully, next game, I'm going to start with a better confidence level, be more aggressive and really take it to them. |
I ain't gonna lie, I was aware of it. I know I needed the assists and I was hoping that Mike Miller was going to make one of those shots (in the fourth quarter). I had a good game sharing the ball and making the right decisions. |
I could have played, ... I've been able to play for a while now, but Memphis wanted me to rest so I can be ready for the season. They don't really want me to play during the summer because the season is so long. |
I couldn't get going. I was just a little bit out of rhythm. It took me a while to get myself into the game and get myself comfortable out there and play at the level I'm supposed to play. |
