I believe in my heart I'm the best player in the world. I'm just a scorer. I try to put the ball in the basket for my team. I'm just confident in my ability to play ball.
If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.
Just getting back into the game and making it a game is all heart. It feels bad, though, because we don't give that effort in the beginning and then we start showing the heart when we're about to get blown out. You have to play like that in the beginning and get stronger as the game goes on.
We just need everyone to contribute. We feel like this is a whole new season for us.
We just needed win - period. We're just struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this would have been bad because we played really well defensively.
We just needed it, period. Just for our sake, not as far as what everyone else is talking about. Just as competitors we just needed a game. We're struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this one would have been really bad, because we played really well defensively.
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They were making shots, they executed well both offensively and defensively. They just played real well tonight.
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They did everything right and we did nothing right.
We weren't ready to handle the back screens and all the cuts. They execute their plays to the fullest and get the best shot possible.
When I struggle the way I did tonight, as a team we are obviously going to struggle.
We score with the best of them. If we concentrate on defense like we do on offense, then we'll win a lot more ballgames.
The sky's the limit for him, ... He's a tough guard. He's got the best coach in the world on his side.
I've been seeing a different side basically all year long. His demeanor is totally different from being an assistant coach and the Maurice Cheeks that I got to know throughout the years of him being here. I expect it because he has a different role now.
The whole team learned a lot tonight, ... I was glad to we had that situation where it was a close game and we had to get it done. We had to get a stop. We showed a lot of character there.
