My teammates played hard and I lost the game for my teammates. I should have held onto the ball instead of passing it. If held onto the ball we would have won the ballgame, so it was my fault.

I feel great. We have about 20 games left, but I just feel like its the start of the season, so I just try to use my energy.

Kirk carried us. I had some good looks in the fourth quarter, but the whole game I struggled. But I thought Kirk stepped up, and we followed him.

The Cleveland game bothered Andres, no doubt about it. He hasn't been himself lately.
ball caught good jump knock next pass shoot shots
The pass was fine. I caught the ball and had a good look at the basket. I shoot a lot of jump shots from the baseline, but the one that I wanted to go in most didn't (go in). Next time, I've got to knock it down.
allowed good mistakes
We just had to put them away, but we started making mistakes and allowed them back in the game. When they went up, they didn't look back. We had good looks, but we just didn't convert.

We didn't just lose Eddy. Antonio Davis was really a big factor for us last season. ... All that affected us.

I don't feel like I have a weak hand. I feel like my left is a lot stronger than last year.
believe elbow hit
I'm all right, feel OK. First play, going to the hole, I got hit with an elbow right in the head. It's just unlucky. Things happen, and you can't do anything about it. I can't believe it myself.
beat good moral thinks victories
There are no moral victories for this team. We think that we're good enough to beat them. No one else thinks so, but we do.
