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.

It's a good feeling to clinch it on my birthday, but we want to build on this and see if we can climb a bit more. I had good looks (today) and didn't think twice about taking shots.

I definitely wanted to be aggressive tonight. I didn't get a lot of looks down in Miami. Tonight I took the shots the game presented.

I definitely wanted to be aggressive, but I just took the shots that the game presented. I didn't get a lot of looks down in Miami, and I wasn't as aggressive as I was tonight. It was just the flow of the game tonight.
fall looks balls
We just couldn't hit shots. We had good looks but they weren't falling and we kept turning the ball over.
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.

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.

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.

It feels like I keep getting something. Throughout my career, I never really got hurt. All of a sudden, maybe it's telling me I have to put on weight and toughen it up.
hurt question trying
I think he did it on purpose, no question about that. I don't know if he was trying to hurt him.
ball game hard held instead lost onto passing played teammates won
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.
