He never stops teaching, ever. He just gave me some advice, and I'll definitely take it to heart.
Some of the guys set the table for me and all I had to do was knock down the shots. Tonight, Jalen and Eddy (Curry) got it going and I had a good fourth quarter. We're a deep team and we feel like that's one of our strengths. It's about chemistry and we're still getting used to each other. We know that anybody can come off the bench and contribute.
My numbers are down from previous years, but I feel like this is my best all-around year. I feel like I've grown as a player through all the stuff that's happened with our team. It's been a trying year for us, but I feel like I've grown up because of it.
It feels good. You hate to be in that position because we were up.
It feels good to get a win; this is just a start. But now all that pressure's off. Now we can just concentrate on playing.
I was awful down the stretch. I missed two free throws, a 3-pointer and threw the ball away. That was uncharacteristic of me.
We could have easily given up and moved on with our lives. We all wanted to compete. That was embarrassing (in the first three quarters). Nobody wants to be embarrassed, so we had to get out there and play as hard as we can.
We could have easily given up and moved on with our lives. But we wanted to continue and keep playing. ... Nobody wants to be embarrassed.
Just his presence down there, he's so athletic, ... We're going to get the best out of him.
He's a calming influence for us, a great veteran, a great leader and we're going to miss him.
He's a calming factor. You do kind of take it for granted. He's so used to doing it. He's had the ball in his hands ever since he was a kid. It's second nature for him. But you do kind of take it for granted being out there because he takes so much pressure off of everybody. But now we all have to step up.
That was embarrassing. We have to have a better effort than that.
That was embarrassing. I've never seen a game quite like that. We got behind really fast.
That's unbelievable. That's a testament to how good he is. He's won at every level he's ever been at.
