I won't let that spook me too much. I know I can make that. I can shoot high percentage from there.
Some nights are like that, especially on the drive and kick. They sucked us in and knocked down threes. It's not too many nights in the league on the road where you have shooting games like that. So you have to tip your hat off to them for all of those threes.
We can't afford to shoot ourselves in the foot early in the game.
We definitely have to shoot our free throws better because if make our free throws it's a little different ballgame.
We work off of each other very well. He can shoot and I can shoot and he crashes the boards and does a good job of playing aggressively and cleaning up some of our misses.
You play anybody and if they shoot 70 per cent from three, they're going to be tough to beat.
He's a threat, he can play. His success has helped us as a team. He's been getting in the paint, he's been getting guys a lot of wide-open shots and he's been getting easy buckets. He can shoot the three and he doesn't take many bad shots, so when you have a point guard who can do all those things and create on the offensive side you can do a lot of things.
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.
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.
