I think they were the better team out there. They were a little more aggressive than us. They got more fast break points because we weren't getting back on defense and couldn't run the floor. |
I thought about it afterwards and I don't know if it was a good idea to save it, because I was on their side of the court. I could have thrown it right to one of their guys and they could have got a basket. Fortunately, we came up with the ball, so it was a great play. |
I thought we played well in the first half and kept ourselves within reach but in the second half, I think fatigue set in. We didn't get in until 2-2:30 in the morning. Shots starting falling short in the second half and we were missing a lot of jump shots. |
I would love to finish my career in Houston, to be back in front of the hometown fans and in front of my family. You never know what can happen. I'm happy in Seattle right now. But at the same time, there's no place like home. |
I'm excited again and I think the fans are too. I don't know if you can put that on Earl, but it's good to have him. |
I'm not going to say this is getting old because we've still got a lot of games to play. If you start giving up, then it's going to be a long season and we're going to continue to get our (butts) kicked. |
I'm pretty sure I will be playing. It still hurts, it's still tight, but I will be wearing a football pad. Just try to get it loose before the game and see if I can go these last two games before the All-Star break. |
I've been putting pressure on myself by just taking the long jump shots instead of getting to the basket. It's always good when (Hill) pulls you aside and talks to you. There's nothing negative. He's telling me what I can do to help my game and he's right. He told me he's going to work with me this summer and make me a better player. |
It came across my mind. But the main focus was getting the win. We need as many wins as we can get right now. |
It feels good because we're getting the confidence that we can win close games. |
It hurts. It hurts to even bend my leg. I'll get treatment and see how it feels, but the way it feels right now, I don't know ... |
It just felt like we were going through the motions, there wasn't any feeling for the game. |
It makes you think that we're starting to develop instead of reaching the main goal and that's to win the division and make the playoffs. But at the same time, that's all we got is young players. They've got to learn, and they've got to learn quickly. |
It seemed like they weren't playing hard and [were] just kind of going through the motions. |
It was a little stiff, but it started to loosen up as the game went on. |
