We'll see. I'm getting better. I just don't want to push anything.
We got ourselves in that position by not playing defense.
People see what I did: walk off the court. I snatched my back brace off and threw it. I'm frustrated. We're losing. I'm frustrated. Whatever it is, people are going to assume. ... It is what it is.
I'm sick of being hurt. Whatever I have do in order to play, I'm going to do, (whether it's) wearing back braces or whatever the case may be.
I don't know (Kennedy). I've met him a few times but I haven't spent any significant time with him. I don't care who they hire. I'll say Corie Blount. He's on the staff, so he should get the job.
If they want to lose games, that's on them. If they want to play us, it doesn't matter. You've still got to play the games. . . . We're not going to get in a war of words.
We need to look in the mirror. If we're going into the playoffs with the wrong attitude, it'll be over early for us.
I feel good. So just keep getting my rest and keep taking care of my body and I should be all right. It felt good, no pain, no pain right now so we'll see how I feel in the morning.
We've been playing well, coming out and running and being aggressive as unit and getting it done. Hopefully we can keep it going for the rest of the season.
First and foremost, I want to apologize to my teammates and coaching staff for my actions on Monday night. There is nothing more important to me than being a good teammate and giving 110% effort each and every day. Nothing will ever change that.
It's not my choice where we play the game. I don't make the schedule. I just show up and play.
It's sad. The only thing you can do is pray and be strong for George. He's went through it and it's unfortunate that his son has to go through the same thing. He's in the position that he can take care of his family, so that's the most important thing.
Everybody around here knows what it is; everybody in the organization knows what happened. My teammates know what it is. Coach knows what it is. So ... believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. That's what I live my life on.
It's been mentioned. But I hate sitting out, so I want to play. I mentioned it, but I still want to play.
