We have to get that feeling that we have when we're down 20 and take that into the start of the game. We can't be nonchalant.
I got off to a slow start last night and I just wanted to put the game behind me. I woke up this morning with a new mindset, came in early and got up some extra shots and got my mind right early.
I do not think that God arbitrarily causes hurricanes and tornadoes and tragedies like this. The Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust.
He couldn't be stopped tonight. He basically beat us by himself.
He leaves a great impression because he's such a good person. He's tough on point guards because he demands so much, but at the end of the day, when you understand what he wants, it's easy to deal with.
I thrilled about the way this team played. Whenever they had a tough time out on the course or faced any adversity, they handled it perfectly. It was a real pleasure to watch them grind out this win.
I was disappointed with my play (in Detroit), I wasn't aggressive. I came in early to get up some shots and just focus on playing well tonight.
It doesn't matter what you do for 45 minutes, it's what you do the last three minutes.
That was the main thing, to keep the streak alive. What hurt us was the month of November. We dug such a deep hole for ourselves in that month and now we are starting to gain some leeway and every game is valuable.
We dug ourselves a hole and we just kept fighting back. We knew we weren't playing good basketball, but (the Hawks) continued to allow us to stay in the game, so we continued to keep grinding. In the fourth quarter, guys started hitting the shots they were missing earlier in the game.
We saw a business opportunity and we jumped into it.
We gave ourselves a good chance to win tonight but you are going to lose games like that sometimes. That one hurt.
We're going to wind up seeing a lot of pharmacies close. That's the second shoe. East of I-95 or west of Charlotte, there are a lot of counties that only have one pharmacy who gets 70 percent and 80 percent of his business from these federal plans.
Definitely Toronto's going to be on my list because they're the first team that's shown me the love and also given me the opportunity to be able to showcase who I am as a player.
Any dog, you put him in the corner, no matter if they're vicious or not, they're going to bite back.
That's my boy right there. I think for the rest of our careers, as long as we see each other, we'll probably fight every night.
They get a tidbit of information, but they don't get enough information to decide what they need to do.
There's certainly not enough revenue to meet overhead, much less make a profit.
It starts tomorrow. We have got to put a whole game together. We have not done that yet. We seem to play well for stretches, but we can't seem to do it for 48 minutes. We have to start with a complete game tomorrow.
It's much quicker, actually, because it's electronic. In our computer is all the information we need, loaded in the computer, immediately.
After that happened, something really clicked inside of me. The only person I fear in my life is my heavyweight father. Besides that, I fear no man.
I'm probably one of the must humble people you'll ever meet.
If people want to say I'm marketing myself that way, that's fine, so be it.
If you get that type of lead, the toughest thing is to maintain it. But we did which shows that as a team we're going in the right direction.
I love the look on other teams' faces when you hit a big shot. Just that discouragement on their face, it kind of excites me.
I practice those shots about 100 to 150 times each day. I feel confident that, if I have to, I can make that shot.
I guess we have the attitude that we're in unfamiliar territory and we have no one but ourselves, so we stick together.
