It's a luxury to play. I get to play basketball for a living. I'm a lucky guy and I'm thankful for everything I have and what I get to do. I realize how many people would give their left foot to just play one game in the NBA. This is the NBA!
I want to hold onto that because I think every kid when they dream about playing basketball, they don't dream about being a role player. They dream about being the man. I have that position in Toronto and to give that up and go somewhere else to be an addition would kinda defeat the purpose of my dreams.
People in general misunderstand me. I'm very aware of the stereotype that comes with being a basketball player. But I'm well-rounded. I'm cultured. It's funny: When I speak, people are like, "Wow! You can really talk." I'm like, "What did you expect?"
We didnt come out with any energy. We know were not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didnt have too much room for error.

We just got steamrolled. I don't think it's a step back because it's not like we played to the best of our abilities. We got beat by 20. We know what we didn't do.
We were panicking a little bit too much, some guys were looking like they didn't know what was going on. Thank god we won.
People support their country here a lot, and being in a diverse city, I expect it.
Sometimes when I have a 1-on-1 advantage and teams don't do a good job of either doubling or clogging the paint, that works to my advantage.
Every team goes through changes. It's up to us as players to put that aside and just play. It's hard to see positives getting beat by 20, plain and simple.
We should have better prepared ourselves mentally. We weren't ready for it and by the time we realized it, it was too late.
We finally get it to six and we stop doing those things sometimes. I can't explain it and it comes with experience. We keep seeing what (bad) happens when we try to it another way. We have to learn.
That's what I think the move is for, for future references. If we have space to sign guys, that would be a plus.
That's what I'm trying to see, we're trying to wait for the smoke to clear, and see the product from all of this.
