He wanted the ball out there tonight. He was real aggressive. When he is aggressive like that, he draw the double team and it opens things up for all of us. |
I don't want to get into trash talking. I'm sure they respect us. We definitely respect them. |
I felt confident tonight, and hopefully that will continue. We have five really tough games coming up. Tomorrow night's game will be a tough one coming off a back-to-back. Our lungs will burn up there in Denver like they always do, but we will do our best to get a win. |
I felt like I had no energy. |
I know every time I play Phoenix they're going to let me shoot on the outside, and I just try to make them pay. |
I think I was too much in a hurry, trying to make stuff happen. |
I think in the past couple years I didn't react that well if I had a bad first half. |
I think we need to call more stuff for him. Maybe we need to call his number some more, or maybe try and slow down a little bit and go with a half-court set. We need to get him going, because we definitely need him. |
I think with Jay Williams, he just needs more freedom. He needs to be able to play and not think. Last year I was thinking too much sometimes. When you?re thinking too much you can?t play free. |
I thought I penetrated pretty well - we just missed a lot of easy shots. It's just one of those nights where offensively it didn't go our way. |
I was very, very motivated. I felt like I owed my teammates because I played so bad two nights ago. It was just one of those games. Nothing went my way. So I watched some film with (Popovich) to see what I could do better. |
I'm very concerned about it, ... We've not had our chain pulled like this before to realize what a problem there is. |
I've done lots of appearances, none like this. |
I've just got to stay aggressive and play my game, ... Do whatever my team needs me to do. |
It felt good to be home and playing in front of our fans. I wanted to make sure we didn't come out flat. |
