We should have put them away a little earlier than we did. They stuck around in the fourth quarter for a little bit, I'm just glad we got the win.
Yeah, I think that was the best of any big shot I've hit, most likely. I didn't have nothing to do, but to shoot.
We have to keep shooting. We had our bad shooting game out there tonight. So we are bound to have a good shooting night.
That was real good. That was probably the best thing that happened (Saturday). Seeing the kid.
That was a good block, good defense. He was doing that all night. Actually, he's been doing that all year.
I wasn't going to miss no time, not in a game like that.
Me playing only 6 minutes in the first half really hurt us. Anybody gets frustrated over fouls. It's a matter of how you bounce back. I tried to come back in the second half and bounce back. . . . By that time it was a little too late.
I was trying to set a screen for Andre Miller and just get open. I saw the double team coming and I just tried to beat it and go fast to the basket.
I think I brought it on myself. I guaranteed a gold medal (before the Olympics). I'm not doing that this time.
I think in certain situations last year and the year before last I would have tried to take that shot with three people on me. But I've seen even if I don't shoot the ball to win the game, I can win the game by passing it out of a double team.
I think I'm starting to get into a rhythm a little more. I'm focusing more.
It didn't seem like he had 40 points.
I think last night they saw how hard it was for me out there making everything and doing everything and them not coming through. But (Saturday) I think we spread the wealth.
We've been fighting with injuries all year. So we've got to do what we did tonight, go with who's going to go out there and play.
