Both have given us a lot of intensity. Especially with Reggie coming off the bench. Reggie gives us energy and defensive pressure down low.
It's a wonderful feeling. You know, this is another positive thing I can put on my resume. It's a great feeling coming out here on my home court and getting MVP of the Rookie-sophomore Game.
I don?t regret coming to college. I had a fun year. I had a great year on the court, and off the court at school.
He's looking good - better than what I thought he (would) coming back from a broken hand. He's looking real good.
We have seven games on the road coming up. If we can win at least five of those games on this trip, it will define us as a team.
I saw a double (team) coming and I just tried to beat it. I just had to go fast.
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 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 came out sluggish but you can't take anything away from the way they shot the ball in the first half. Coming in here and starting off the way we did, we had to finish hard. The last five minutes we buckled down and took control of the game. We feel more confident in close games.
I knew they were going to double- team, triple-team me. I was missing shots that I would never miss. Shots that I have to take. Shots around the basket. . . . That was their game plan. They want somebody else to beat them.
I knew that we were down by 14 points and my team needed me out there. Halftime, I told them that it was time for me to wake up and go out there and win the game.
I knew my shot wasn't going in from the outside, so I decided to keep on going to the hole and get some fouls called.
I knew I was going to get a shot up. It was just a matter of what type of shot I was going to get.
I'm more concerned by the way we came out sluggish. It was a good win.
