goes life shooting
Basically, you're shooting (to return) for the playoffs. It's disappointing, but life goes on. I'll be all right.
absolutely hit key reason shots won
He was unbelievable tonight. He hit big shots for them, and he was the key reason they won the game. He was absolutely amazing.
knew pain quickness shot
I knew I was going to have the soreness. I knew that I was going to have a little pain. I don't think it hindered me doing the things that I want to do. . . . I think my shot was off. It was evident. But my speed, my quickness and my ball-handling were there. So the shot will come.
I just don't think we need to make any more changes.
definitely leading loses second team unit
I definitely think we're a different team. If any team loses their leading scorer off the bench, the second unit is going to struggle. We're no exception.
ball shot
Honestly, I just think they shot the ball bad. I don't think we did anything special.
four guards hardest yelling
The hardest part is rebounding. When it's four guards out there, (Karl) does a lot more yelling about rebounding.
miss missed pressure took
I just wanted to pressure him as much as I could, and he took an off-balance shot. It didn't look like he was going to miss a shot. But he missed the one that they needed.
