I don't think it's a total rebuilding situation.
For us to add him (Francis) to our team is only going to be a plus. Then it's just about us getting that continuity and then going out and playing and getting some wins.
Fortunately the good Lord was looking down on me because I had missed my X number of previous shots. It was a total team win.
He wasn't the guy that pulled the trigger. I played point guard for Isiah. We have a great relationship.
He can't change what has happened. But (Wednesday) night he wanted us to start being a better team. That's the bottom line.
Guys were giving up good shots to get great shots.
It felt good to be out there, hear your name called, what college you went to.
It felt good to be out there and hear your name called. They had 20 more shots than we did, but we did a good job of keeping the turnovers low and knocking down open looks when we had them. We did a better job in the second half of playing defense.
When you're contesting those jumpers, yeah, it's tough to watch. But you know, it happened and you've got to deal with it. When you play ball, when you play sports, your failures go with success. You've got to be able to endure both.
We had a lot of positive moments from a lot of guys, that's why I take this loss upon myself. ... I feel like if I dealt with what I was supposed to deal with down the stretch, we would be in a victorious locker-room.
I wasn't surprised about being traded. I would have been surprised if it was a team that wasn't speculated in the rumors.
You just have to give Dallas the credit. They have a good team. They have been playing well this season. They ran into a team that has not been playing well, and trying to learn things that they are doing. At this point, it didn't show.
You just gotta play. You've got to be aggressive at all times. If you feel like you have an opportunity to step up and knock down a shot, you've got to knock it down. If you have an opportunity to penetrate and finish the play, you have to finish. If there's a penetrate-and-kick situation, you've got to kick it out. I think he understands. He's just not playing the way he's capable of playing right now.
Yeah? Which guys wear chains outside of their shirts? No comment. I'm going to let the individuals who choose to fight the rule fight the rule. It is what it is.
