They compare us so much. You hear an analyst saying I'm better than him, and another saying he's better than me. You take that in because that's my competitive nature.
They beat us from start to finish. They came out aggressive and we were back on our heels.
It's been unbelievable. To see how great we were playing and see how we've now sort of bottomed out. We've got to find some energy from somewhere to pick it up.
It'll be my first opportunity to play in New Orleans. I'm excited to get there and show the fans of New Orleans that we still play for them. Plus it's a huge game for us; the Lakers are fighting for a playoff spot, so we need to pick it up and sneak out with a win.
It just seemed like we were scoring and they were scoring, we were scoring and they were scoring. And it can't be like that. We realize that we can score at times at will, but at the same time they were scoring every time.
It's a great time just to get away for a little while and give my shoulder and my ribs time to heal.
We're just trying to adjust to not having him out there.
Those free throws were huge. I was nervous. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't.
We are digging ourselves a big hole in these games. Maybe what we need is to have a reality check, and fall out of the playoffs, and (realize) that the playoffs can be taken away from us.
We are really trying to make a run to the playoffs right now. I feel like if we just win and take care of that stuff, those accolades will come.
They know if they want the ball from me, be nice.
This is the Mecca of basketball, New York City. You can't hope to play well at a better place than this.
Anything can happen. As long as we have a chance, we're going to keep fighting and keep playing.
This is huge for our confidence. We're in a tough situation right now where we are trying to fight for the eighth spot in the playoffs. We knew we had Detroit coming up so we really needed this one.
