But, obviously, I don't think that had much to do with it. It's motivation. I'm just going to do what I got to do on the court and let my game speak for itself.
We had the game and we let it slip away. We were in control of the game pretty much with a minute to go. From that point on, we've got to manufacture points and make plays and get stops, but we didn't.
I'm definitely going to get back. I don't care if it's three games left, four games left, as long as I get back to my full capacity. I think it's in my best interest and my team's best interest that I get healthy and really let the ankle rest.
It's frustrating. We could have put that game away had we come with the energy we started the game with. It's up to every individual to come mentally prepared and ready to play. If that doesn't happen, we're not going to win.
They're more physical than we are. They really have a great game plan when they play against us. They know what they want to do. They know where they want to attack us and they exploit them. And they pound us in the boards every time we play them.
The whole game was frustrating for me, ... It was an ugly game, but it was a 'W.' Guys stepped up and hit big shots. ... I tried to be a nuisance on defense. I felt like it was an opportunity to go after it (against Crawford), especially down the stretch. I knew he wasn't passing, so I took a gamble.
We're showing flashes of brilliance. The key now is to sustain it. People are excited about us in town. I hear about it all the time when I'm out there in the community. But it won't mean a thing if we can't keep it going.
Bring it on, ... With the talent that we have, I definitely see that burden being lifted.
Everybody hits a wall. We hit our wall and now it's time for us to start bouncing back and to play better basketball. It was a great win for us, a much-needed win for us.
We just played in spurts. You can't play in spurts on the road and expect to win.
Breakfast would be, like, egg whites with tomatoes, turkey sausage and feta cheese. Then for lunch I'd have salmon and spinach or something like that.
We were not as sharp as we usually are, ... They have very good one-on-one players, and down the stretch we couldn't hit our open 3-point shots.
I was supposed to go on pick and roll, but I got isolated, and usually I can get a shot off. Tonight, I wasn't able to do it. ... I was confident I would be able to get a shot off. That's something I live for. I'm very disappointed in myself.
OK, there's T.J. and . . . oh, there's Baron. Over there.
