That's the type of energy we need. It's good to see guys getting an opportunity.... Last year when I came (to the Warriors via a Feb. 24 trade), our bench was so critical. The energy they brought was fun and exciting. That's what we were missing.
I wish Elton Brand the best. He's a great guy. He's always going to be a great friend of mine, regardless of what goes on.
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.
Just whipping that ball around and sharing, guys knocking down threes. Team play is the most important thing to me. I'm not really averaging a lot of points. But at the same time, we're winning, I'm happy, my assists are up. It's fun when we share the ball and make the extra pass.
He's been playing well for us, carrying us throughout the whole game. Guys are inspired by that, want to sacrifice themselves to get him shots and help out and play at the level that he's playing at.
He was carrying us throughout the whole game. Guys should be inspired by that and want to sacrifice themselves. We can help out by playing at the level he's playing at. We haven't been able to get production from people that we used to get it from and people that we need. I ain't calling nobody out. Myself included.
He's established himself as a guy to have that confidence to take that shot.
I'm just using this training camp as a base to build up my strength, ... We've got a good month until the season starts. We're not in a rush. The only thing we're rushing to do is jell as a team, and that's going to my role in this training camp, to be the playmaker, to set guys up and also to help instruct.
We just played in spurts. You can't play in spurts on the road and expect to win.
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 used to always brick, ... I used to always do like UCLA or Indiana late game, on the road, and I'll always miss.
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.
Bring it on, ... With the talent that we have, I definitely see that burden being lifted.
Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. As long as we win.
