He goes to the hole among the trees and gets knocked down a lot. This time he didn't get up.
encouraged head
He encouraged me to keep my head up and keep playing.
discredit miss time wants welcome
He (Mason) wants to be with a winner, not to discredit New Orleans. He did so much for the organization, and we're going to miss him, but at the same time we're going to welcome Jamaal in.
fast felt happen run starting throughout tonight
Starting out fast was key. That was big. We really didn't let them have a run throughout the game. Tonight felt really good. It showed what can happen when we start out fast.
confidence high performance shooting standards
My shooting performance was not so good, but my confidence is still there. I have high standards for myself.
concern start team
That's been the one concern for our team - start out better, start out fast.
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.
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.
best follow guys leaders
I know guys will follow my lead. If the leaders are going to play hard, everyone will play hard. I just wanted to do the best I could tonight.
figure fire good home road seems wins
I know. I know, and that's not good at all. Sometimes it seems like we play with more fire on the road than we do at home. We have to figure it out at home and get some wins and make this a home-court advantage.
adjust against body combat extra hard past people position rip saw surrounded
I never really got into a position to do anything. They always had an extra body around if I ever did get past Rip (Hamilton), which was hard to do in itself. They just surrounded me and I was never in a position to do anything. We've got to make adjustments to combat what they did against me because I saw (two or three) people every time. So we have to adjust that.
great playoff position trying win
I'm trying to be that positive, be that encourager. We're in great position to still win a playoff (series).
best competition guards wish worried
I'm not worried about the competition out there. I wish the best for everybody. Obviously, there are a lot of guards out there. We'll see what happens. I feel like I'm one of the ones that's up there.
