Potential is the good of life -- action the secret key.
I'll take a nice assist any day over points.
A point guard is judged by wins and losses. I think I'm doing a good job.
My responsibility is to get people into the offense.
A lot of people have high expectations. I'm just going to do the best I can.
It seems like teams want a guy who can get 10, 11, 12 assists. That's the kind of player I want to be. Sometimes that is more important than scoring 30 points a night.
I try to get control of the tempo, control of the flow, and get my teammates the ball in the best position to score.
I feel like I'm the best point guard in the league.
There were really a lot of things we didn't do well. We didn't rebound well, they out hustled us. They wanted the game more than us.
As a team we feel pretty good. (Next year) we should definitely make the playoffs. I won't guarantee it like some people do, but we feel that we should. We feel we should have made it this year.
As a parent with a child with autism, it's been really tough to experience your child having autism.
This doesn't feel like a regular win. This was special, because of their streak. This was a statement-maker.
We've been trying to get there (.500). We've been battling every night to get there. We look around our league and teams are losing, it's the perfect time to make a run before the All-Star break.
I just tried to stay in front of him and not foul. I just tried to put my hands up and hopefully they didn't call a foul.
