Grant came out tonight and knew we needed a win. We needed him offensively and he stepped up.
I like Terence Morris, and I like how he plays.
I don't need to be like, 'Hey, throw me the ball.' But I guess I do need to put some bass in my voice. One of the things that coach Hill says is that he needs me to be more aggressive to get the ball.
I really wanted this game because we were playing Detroit and because we really let a win slip away against Milwaukee (on Wednesday).
I haven't looked at anybody's numbers, not even my own numbers. That doesn't matter. The only number I'm concerned about is us winning these last few games.
I can't wait. Everybody on this team is a hard worker, and I'm sure they're going to work to get better as individuals.
I'm just 19 and I've got a long time left in this league. This is just my second year and I'm still learning every night.
I'm very surprised that Iverson didn't make it. I think he was one of the best leaders the team had in the Olympics, but I think what they're trying to do for the Olympic team is get a group of guys that's willing to play team ball. I'm not saying that Iverson isn't like that, but I think they're doing a youth movement for the Olympics. I think the older legs are getting brittle, so they might need some young fresh legs out there.
Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll get my invite. Actually, tomorrow I should have my invite.
Hopefully he won't look at it as a bad deal by Detroit. He will look at it as a chance to come in and really get a chance to play.
He's a pretty talented player, but he hasn't had a chance to show his talent. I think it's just opportunity. He gets another opportunity down here. Hopefully he'll look at it as a chance to play.
The first half, they took our hearts. We just came back and got our hearts back. We fought so hard to get back into the game. Marshall hit the shot at the end of the game ... we were supposed to get that win.
