last love nba players second shot
That's a shot that all NBA players love to have, that last second shot,
aggressive
That's disappointing. I don't know if we weren't aggressive enough or if it was their defense.
kept seemed staying
In the first half, it seemed like I couldn't make one (basket). But I just kept staying aggressive.
ball either game hands move somebody
I just wanted the ball in my hands at the end of the game and wanted to make a play -- either to myself or somebody else. I just made a move and thankfully, it went in.
difficult great guys job knew night shot shutting three
I knew it was going to happen. They did a great job having two or three guys around me all night and it was very difficult to get my shot off. They really were just concentrating on shutting me down tonight.
continue hard passed practice stay staying test together tonight tough work
I like our future. I like the potential. It's going to be great, ... I want to stay humble, continue to work hard at practice ... staying together in tough times and tonight was the test of tough times, and we passed the test tonight.
basketball case encourage guys mike needs sit trying watching wear win
I'm just trying to encourage everybody. Mike needs your help. I need your guys' help. I don't want it to be a case where you guys just sit around watching me trying to do everything. That's not going to win basketball games, man. And it's going to wear me out.
basketball cry playing playoff trust
I'm just playing basketball, man. I trust the referees to make the right calls. I don't need to cry about it or nothing. That's part of playoff basketball.
disrespect easy geared knew missed normally shots toward
I missed a lot of easy shots. No disrespect to their defense. I knew it would be geared toward me, but I missed a lot of shots I would normally make.
cleveland eventually heart milwaukee obviously sit staying
In my heart of hearts, I wanted to come back here in Milwaukee. Obviously I went to Cleveland to visit. It just didn't sit right. I had to do that; it also was in my heart. But eventually staying here in Milwaukee was the one thing I wanted to do.
block great
It was a great block and probably the play of the game.
best game great performance third
It was probably our best game of the year. That was just a great performance in the third quarter.
encourage game goes intensity involved next pick playoffs three
It's very important that we make it to the playoffs and that we pick our game up in these next 19 games. The intensity goes up and we've got to pick it up. It is new (to many of the Bucks). You just try to encourage them and tell them what's going on. I've been involved in the playoffs three times and it's a challenge.
totally
It's totally not fair, at all, what happened.
