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.
They basically told me I have the right to be more vocal, you have the right to push everybody else when some guys are slacking off some days. They want me to do a better job of getting on them and demanding the best of them, because that's what all the great players do, they demand the best out of their teammates, and make everybody better.
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?"
I'm just trying to be the best player that I can be.
When you're not in the game, you can watch. Certain players have mannerisms, and they do the same things repetitiously.
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.
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.
I won't let that spook me too much. I know I can make that. I can shoot high percentage from there.
