game learned lessons mental
There were a lot of lessons I learned out there today. We're out of the playoffs, we were down by 30, and you just have to keep playing. It was a mental game today. It was really hard. It was frustrating, but you just have to keep going.
allow game hard hit win
They hit 17 3-pointers. It's hard to win a game when you allow that.
great players practices
They've got great players on the team, all the way down the line, ... Practices are going to be tough.
national similar trying win
I'm trying to do something similar to what Carmelo did, ... Trying to win a national title.
change chip critics
I've got a big chip on my shoulder. I know what all the critics said and I want to show them what I can do. I'm going to change people's minds.
experience great meeting okay sharing talking
It's great just meeting these kids, talking to them, sharing the experience with them. I think it makes them feel like it's okay to have this, it's not the end of the world.
definitely needed relaxed
We just had two back-to-back games. We definitely needed a relaxed practice, it definitely helped.
expect next season
I didn't want the season to be over so soon. I had fun. I know what to expect for next year.
digging learned next rookie season starting tough year
I didn't want the season over so soon. Next year I will come back ready, I'm not a rookie anymore. I learned a lot starting out 1-15 and digging out of that hole. It was a tough year though.
chris deserves guy months paul people second shot third
Chris Paul has been the guy for months now, but people want to see who's that second or third guy. I think Chris Paul, he deserves it. But I think I have a shot at being runner-up if I keep doing what I've been doing.
character game good great wish
It's great to see myself in a videogame, ... I just wish my character was really this good when the game comes out.
early except four guys played quarters tone tried won
I tried to come out hard, set the tone early and the guys got the win. We played all four quarters and we won every quarter except the third, which we tied.
attacking ball knew line points shooting
We knew we were in the bonus, so we were going to keep attacking them. We weren't shooting the ball well, so we were going to try to get to the free-throw line and get points from there and that's what we did.
atlanta guys happened nba next points tone tried
I just tried not to let what happened in Atlanta snowball, I tried to come out really hard, set the tone early, and the guys got the win. I can't get satisfied, I have to keep going. Thing about the NBA is I can have 24 points now, but what am I going to do the next game?
