I'm sure he was probably a little frustrated. When you're a good team, you expect to win, and when you don't, you do something you might not be prone to doing.
I'm just mad I missed those two free throws. We had a letdown against Cleveland, and we needed to turn that around. We couldn't let it continue.
I'm just happy to get a game like that, with a team that's smoking hot. That's a team that, like I said, we're going to see down the road, hopefully. So it's fun.
He's the best (sixth man) in the league. He's better than 90 percent of the league's starters. So (having McDyess is) a luxury, really, for us.
This is about life. It's about academics, it's about the things that really matter. And that's the thing I'm the most proud of.
