It's frustrating, but four games, we just have to find some way to win. We're not taking much solace out of anything.
The whole coaching staff talked about going to the line as much as possible, taking advantage of the mismatches and getting to the free-throw line. Whenever we play unselfish at home or on the road, we are a tough team to beat. When we play unselfish, we play better defense and we move the ball and play better offense.
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.
He started taking all the shots and we stood looking at him like we didn't know what to do. We have to know who we're playing. That's unacceptable.
I want to bring that childlike approach every night - just go out there and have fun. I want to play like a kid, for fun but with intensity. Play to win.
I'm my own biggest critic, and the only way I'm going to improve is to see what I was doing wrong.
Everyone talks about success, but what happens before? There's always something you have to overcome.
Life is not going to be sweet all the time.
Failure either breaks people or it makes them succeed.
Experience has taught me a lot, and I don't want to let that fall by the wayside.
I learned very quickly that the NBA is a very rough place, physically and mentally. There's no mercy.
You don't have to appreciate me - I hope you underestimate me. That way, when I have a good game, it'll hit you even harder.
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!
There were hard days but I never felt sorry for myself.
