They were trying to show me L.A., ... But I knew more than they did. That was my city.
We're just trying to get a win at this point. Can't talk about playoffs when you're losing.
We're getting there. We're trying to keep ourselves in ballgames. We just got to close it out.
What I'm trying to do is use my body. That way, as I back him down, I can kick it out to other players.
My personal expectation is that I definitely want to finish as the best point guard in the NBA, and that translates into us winning, ... If I'm the best point guard in the NBA, it means that we're winning and we're a playoff contending team. It's just motivation for me to know that a lot of people have me low on the totem pole right now. I'm just trying to prove them wrong.
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.
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.
There's going to be some nights where he's going to score big for us and there's going to be some nights where he won't. His defense and his ability to be out there and to make plays without having the ball is going to be really helpful in the long run.
We finally started to move the ball and we found a way to exploit them at the offensive end, but in the fourth quarter, we got away from it.
