We need to go up to Milwaukee and play a team that's playing very well... and try to come out with a win. It's not a perfect season, and this builds character for a team. I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully this will make us better.
It's just a sprained ankle that's sore. It just happened so it's a quick turnaround. The doctors and trainers didn't want me to test it. A day to get it better tomorrow and we'll see.
It's just about getting the ball around the area of the rim. Some guys hit some shots, we all do, that you just throw up and it goes in. But most of the time you're trying to get it around the area of the rim and give it a chance. You never know what can happen if you get it on the backboard.
This builds character for a team, ... I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully, this will make us better.
It has never been Shaq and Kobe. The only thing would happen is Kobe would come driving, Shaq would foul him, the only time they would cross paths. So, it's going to be a interesting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
