We turned the ball over way too many times. I think we had 17 turnovers in the first half. There is no way you give yourself a chance to win that way.
We're having a lot of fun playing basketball now. When you win it's always fun, but it's the way we're winning.
For whatever reason, I'm really, really focused in the fourth quarter. I know that's winning time. My teammates put me in great positions, and Coach has a lot of confidence in me.
We didn't really talk about it. But any great leader is going to challenge his troops, so we took it as a challenge. We think we do have the makeup, so we're going to go out there and hopefully the wins can show that we have that makeup.
It shows a lot about our team. We have to build on this. We can't win one and then lose five.
We're very confident. We're a confident group and I think we're pretty dangerous, because we're a pretty deep team and we have a great coach. So the sky's the limit.
We just had to slow down. As a guard, I'll take responsibility for that.
We didn't know how it happened or how it started. Antonio is our family, and his family is our family, so when you see that, you're concerned.
We all care so much about Coach, we wanted to play our best and not quit. We just wanted to compete, and we did that.
To me, he didn't do anything bad. Yeah, he left the court. I understand that. But if you saw your son or husband in trouble, you would do the same thing. He's a human being before he's an athlete.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't - not really disappointed - but just caught off guard
I guess I throw it in the air a bit.
But it was just good to see him back out there. He looked better.
I love being in that position. Ever since I was a kid, I've always liked the big shot. I'm just glad it's going in now. More importantly, we're winning.
