It is hard to try and find a rhythm when you're only out there for short spurts, but it's fine,
Yeah, I definitely sensed that. And that's why I was so adamant about getting back and trying to help the team as much as possible. I realize I don't have to score to help them, my presence alone, just me being so big and taking up space helps them out a lot.
I know I have to learn how to turn it on and off. I have to learn to be a totally different player on the court than I am off the court. That's kind of what I'm struggling with right now, just trying to find that switch so I can turn it on and off.
I definitely see that out here in his coaching, ... He really stresses perfection out there for the bigs and for his point guards. Totally different style from what coach Skiles did. It's two different coaches, so I'm just trying to get used to everything and just take it all in.
We weren't really making a lot of shots. They weren't really making a lot of shots. I can imagine how it was for the fans, but for us to be the team that was on top, it was a great night for us.
We weren't making shots and they weren't making shots, so I couldn't imagine how it was for a fan, ... For us to beat a team that was on top, it was a great win.
It would have been nice to get this win for both him and for Herb. But for whatever reason we just didn't have it tonight - like a lot of other nights.
I understand the boos. It was one of the toughest things I had to do leaving here. I am also very excited about where I am now.
people can start looking at me as a basketball player and not a patient.
Every time I got the ball I tried to make something happen.
Sometimes they will look away from me. When I do get the ball, I try to make something happen so they don't have an excuse not to throw me the ball.
Sometimes it's hard to tell, but I feel like I'm definitely getting better. I'm learning more than I've ever learned. Now it's just a matter of time before I can incorporate that into what I'm doing on the court.
There's one guy who isn't sure, ... I can live with that because of what the other doctors say.
Those are some of the things we weren't doing when we were losing.
