Close game, lost another. It's the same thing. You're not used to it. It's just, you get so close and the outcome stays the same. We just have to overcome a couple of things at the end of the game.
I'm nervous. I just hope they call my name. I don't talk much about it. I just wait.
I'm really happy, but I'm not satisfied. Even though I try to play to my maximum potential, I feel I can always do better. There's always mistakes to be made. I learn from my mistakes. I just want to keep going and get better every day.
I just think it's concentration. I spent a great deal of my time shooting free throws. As many jump shots as I take, I try to shoot as many free throws.
I just hope he wants to come in and contribute to the best of his ability. I hope he buys into what we're trying to do here and what we're trying to do with this season.
That goes to show ourselves and the fans that when we play the right way, it's tough for teams to come here and win. We knew we could score every time. We were pretty much scoring at will in the first half.
That's when my thoughts started to change, and I continued to talk to Bryan, and we developed our relationship we have now. He said 'I think I have a good reputation and I don't want to change that.' He doesn't want to ruin his name by not making this franchise better.
That's free points. You're going to have to reward yourself for taking it hard to the lane and putting pressure on their big guys, putting them in foul trouble and making them pay.
It's very much night and day, ... Last year I was more of a surprise when I started doing well in mid-season. At that point people started saying, 'OK, now we have to do something.'
It's very hard. We keep talking about the same things. We've got to keep playing, and learn from our mistakes.
It's very good motivation because that kind of brings us together,
It's tough. But safety is a main concern. I talked to the doctors yesterday and they're telling me, if the same thing happens again - if I play - it could be very severe. (Instead of) 10 days it could be 10 weeks or something like that.
It's good to have a home-like atmosphere away from home.
It's frustrating, but four games, we just have to find some way to win. We're not taking much solace out of anything.
