Sometimes coach is calling stuff and I don't understand some of the things he's calling. I ask Phil Ford or Herb Williams just to give me some insight, so I think coming off the bench has really been helping me. |
Sometimes you just try to do things too perfect and that throws your game off and throws your timing off. |
That was a tough shot. I was right there in his face. |
That was the play we called; I just missed the shot. It was a play we tried to get going to the basket, but they had like two or three guys loaded up over there and all the guys were covered, so I put it up. |
That's something that's way out of my control. So I just have to do what I can do when I come in. |
That's the last thing I'm worried about, ... I'm just worried about getting in top shape by the end of this week and learning the offense and defense. |
That's the last thing I'm worried about. The most important thing is for our defense to be able to get a stop in the fourth quarter. |
That's way beyond my control. But looking at the whole time I've been here it's been up and down, not knowing where the minutes were coming from. |
The ball's pretty much in his hands in the fourth quarter. And he takes advantage of the opportunities -- getting guys open or even getting his own shot. |
The biggest [challenge] would be personnel, ... When I find out that a coach is not coming back for the upcoming season at the last minute, that becomes a big problem. Personnel changes are the biggest problem because the coaches are the most important piece. |
The engine is going to start and the locomotive is going to get moving one day. |
The guy is a hired cannon, and he's hired to score. So if you're going to foul him, you've got to be sure and foul him hard. |
The most important thing tonight was that we won. I'm just going to stick with the role that they have me doing right now, which is getting everybody involved. It's more important to win regardless of how many points I might have. |
The play was actually called for me coming closer to the basket but they had three or four guys covering it. |
Their two guys went to the free-throw line a million times and that set the tone for the night. It's tough to play a team that gets every single call. Those guys got too many generous calls. |
