blew everybody open opened
I like the way we had 33 assists. That blew it open because they didn't know who to guard. It opened up for everybody else.
hitting kept nights
They just kept hitting shots. It was one of those nights where they kept hitting shots.
ball early great hands moved tonight toronto tried
It was great tonight. Toronto tried to take the ball out of my hands early tonight and we moved the ball and made them pay.
checked gone reason
It was just one of those things I wanted to get checked out. I could have gone back in the game, but there was no reason to.
last
Not to put down last year's team, ... but we got better.
kept seemed staying
In the first half, it seemed like I couldn't make one (basket). But I just kept staying aggressive.
whenever
He pretty much just heckles me whenever we play.
focus
Grabbing, holding, crowding, everything. So their focus is on me. It's no secret.
I'm doing it for my knees, more than anything. It's not for show.
winning night next-level
I know the next level for me is to make my teammates better, to win a championship, and to where they have confidence that they can score 20 or 15 points a night and be consistent.
basketball live-by seems
It is all about confidence: 90% mental and 10% physical, that is what basketball is. I live by that and it seems to be working.
winning games worried
You are not worried about scoring; you are worried about winning the game.
growing-up thinking magic
Obviously you look at "Magic" (Ervin Johnson) and Michael (Jordan) and you learn from them growing up, but I think you are just born with it from day one.
mistake moving college
It wasn't a mistake to come out of college early. It was the best move I ever made. I had one year to practice and learn the NBA game. It was like a redshirt year.
