We're very confident. We have high expectations. Every time we play the Clippers, they are great at adjusting in the second half to what we are doing in the first half. They are also sending two or three people at me every time I touch the ball. That's a sign of respect. They try to mix it up. They play with my head a little.
We had a great preseason. But it's over with.
It's a great honor. It's a team thing. The team should have gotten Player of the Month.
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.
That's something he does every night. They've got shooters out there who can knock down open shots, and he put them in a great position to hit shots.
We knew they were going to make a run but we kept our composure and finished off the game. It was a great game out there.
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.
We still got a great chance to make this road trip real special. Finish a road trip like this 5-2 is a real good road trip for us.
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.
Every night for the last week and a half has been tough. We wait for the last 12 to 15 minutes of the game to try and battle back, but by that time it's too late.
