bad difficult help helping kid maybe mean might playing question seeing
There might be a kid out there who has been through some bad things and maybe seeing me, someone who has been through the things I've been through will help them, ... I don't necessarily mean playing in the NBA. It can be school. It can be music. It might be helping other people. There are so many better things that you can do with your life. We all go through some difficult things, but once those things happen, the question is: How are you going to respond?
defense fill forward guys help looking problems runs teams
Defense can help you get on some magnificent runs and put teams away. That's what we're looking forward to because we know we can score. We have a lot of offensive-minded guys that can fill it up so, if we get stops, we'll have no problems on the other end.
coach gets involved
Coach is a player's coach, ... He gets real involved in what's going on, so I had to give him a little high-five.
create crowd fans louder
I think the fans are probably a lot louder in Storrs. I'd like to see the Hartford crowd create that same environment.
adversity character coach early face good great guys job people prepared revealed rotation stepped team
I think the character of this team has already been revealed in the face of adversity. Early on, when a lot of people were writing us off, I think we bounced back. Coach did a great job of getting the right guys out there, the rotation was good and we stepped up. Now this is another challenge. We've got to step up. It's a must that we go .500 or better, and I think we are prepared to do that.
finding good job rhythm stay teammates trying
I think it's just that my teammates are getting used to me and I'm getting used to them. Offensively, I'm just trying to stay in a good rhythm and a good flow. My teammates are doing a good job finding me in a rhythm, and I'm just doing what I know how to do.
billy bleeding came eight free great left picked played quick seconds stopped wiped
I think that was real big. I was bleeding and they wiped me up real quick and stopped the bleeding for about eight seconds and I was able to get my free throws. I went back (for stitches) and Billy just came in and played great basketball. He picked it up where I left off.
glass guys hard hitting hope shots
He's been the sparkplug, hitting big shots when we need them. Like I told him, I hope that he makes the All-Star team. That would be big for him and for this organization. But if not, he's an All-Star in our minds. He's hitting the glass hard and making other guys better.
career certain college excited followed game high inside knows opportunity somebody truly
He's followed my career through high school, college and through the NBA. You want somebody who knows your game inside out, who knows what you like to do in certain situations. I'm excited about this opportunity and truly blessed.
dying
When they say I can go back out there, I'll be back out there. I'm dying to play.
coaches game
Our coaches had us prepared. But when the game started, we did everything they told us not to do.
earlier losses main road stop three
Our main thing was to go .500 or better (on the road trip). Now that we've got three wins, why stop now? Let's make up for some of the losses earlier in the season.
basketball produce starter win
If that's where they need me to play to win basketball games, then so be it. I'm still a starter in my own mind. I'm just going to produce and get it done.
He just thought my story was real inspiring. I thought it went real well.
