We don't want injuries, especially to our best player, ... We just hope he can come back real soon. He's a big guy and anytime he gets injured it's a lot of weight that goes down on his knee, ankle or whatever he hurt.
He's a big guy and anytime he gets injured it's a lot of weight that goes down on it. We have enough firepower that when one guys goes down the other guys can step up.
Anytime a change is made in the middle of the season, you're going to be shocked, especially with Stan Van Gundy. I've got a tremendous amount of respect for him. To step down the way he did, what can you say about that? ... We were shocked, but at the same time, we've got a game today.
Anytime you get a win you're happy with it and you try to learn from it.
Anytime you lose a game it's painful. But when you get blown out, when you get embarrassed, especially on (national) TV, it's terrible. You put a hat on and walk out of here because no one has a reason to walk out of here with their head up.
I don't know if it was a wakeup call. Anytime you lose a game, you always look and see what you did wrong. I think in the last couple of games we've been getting ourselves down. So we want to come out with more energy and be more efficient.
I kept trying to play and kept trying to play, and anytime I bent it, it just, I couldn't go no more. But I think I'll be all right.
When a guy's 6-8, raises as high as he does and fades on his shot, you just try to do the best that you can to put a hand in his face. He made big shots for them.
We lost a great teammate. But I was also excited because the guys coming in can help us get to where we need to go, and that's to win a championship.
I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing.
I've only scratched the surface of where I want to be in my career, ... And I know one thing, I haven't won anything yet so there's a lot more I can do there. But I'm going to continue to get better and do what I can to help my team be the best it can possibly be.
It was an ugly and painful game to watch.
Converse has history. I want to be part of what comes next.
Every time we play them, it's a rough game.
