I'm just going to keep working. Spend more days in the gym, as possible. Just trying to get my game up, and just keep playing. And if it's in God's will for me to win, then I'll get it.
Today is a new day. Even if you were wrong yesterday, you can get it right today.
I've decided to become a member of the Houston Rockets. I feel it's the best place for me and I am excited about joining the Rockets and I'm looking forward to a great season. I want to thank the fans in Los Angeles and wish them the best.
Maybe we're not mentally ready for a playoff series right now. But physically, I think we can compete with any team.
Riding that bike and the little sideline running isn't basketball. My timing is still off, but it's basketball. It's what I do.
We were all embarrassed after that game, and I know exactly how Toronto feels.
We're not playing desperate. Like I've been preaching all season, hard work will eventually turn out and show up for our team.
This was a little bit of payback for me. The first time we played against them, they did a pretty good job on me. I wanted to come out and get some payback because I don't feel like I played well in the first game.
The playoffs are the last thing on our mind right now. We just want to come out, play every night and give 100 percent for out fans and just for ourselves.
He's a tough guy to guard. Sometimes you can't do anything about him scoring. You just have to run back down the court.
I expect us to be in the playoffs next year. We've got a great group of young guys and hopefully it will stay together. I think we can build off the finish we had to this season and do some great things next year.
I had it marked on my calendar, but I think I was a little anxious tonight. I didn't play as well as I had hoped tonight. Kevin just had a great game.
He knows when it's crunch time, he's going to get the ball and do what he needs for his team to win. He's the MVP.
He's back and I'm glad to see him on the court with us.
