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.
You have a quick first step, guys can't put their hands on you. I know we like it. But on the opposite end, the same thing. When you are guarding a great player, you can't touch.
It's just getting the ball in your hands and making a play. I've got confidence in myself and my teammates have confidence to get me the ball.
It's a little sore, as expected. Playing a lot of minutes. I had the ball in my hand a lot, jumping on it a lot. But it's getting better daily.
I didn't have to look for my shot today, so I was able to do some other things. Coach put the ball in my hands tonight to make things happen and see what I could do.
I love to sing some Beyonce - ya know, like 'All the Single Ladies.' I'll sing that - maybe not with the body shakin' - but I'll have a little bit of the hand movement going on.
I understand that I'm not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that's happened to me, good and bad.
I got a rhythm going. The guys just did a good job of putting the ball in my hands.
We played into their hands by helping so much and letting shooters like Jones and Bell and guys like that hit some awfully big shots.
I knew it wasn't my night. Coach told me a halftime to keep going. It was just getting into a rhythm.
I know Alonzo was saying that on the bench over and over and over.
I kind of knew I would try to come back. I didn't know how effective I would be because I couldn't feel parts of my leg.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team. We'll get back into it. Other guys will get back into the flow. It's a bump in the road.
