It seems like a letdown to us because we come out and work so hard, and things aren't going our way or according to plan. It's just something we have to fight through, come in every day knowing we have to win a lot of games to make a playoff run. I believe we can do it.
Today was a great day. I want to win, so I'm going to do whatever it takes to get everyone involved and having fun and getting the crowd involved and just playing hard to help out the team.
He played like he has been in the league for 10 years.
He played like a veteran. Like he's been in the league 10 years. It's tough dealing with guys that are so free to pick and choose what to do whenever they want.
I usually dig the single-digit numbers, but No2 is retired. I'm going to change it up and wear No10. I'm going to wear it for Messi, my favourite soccer player. I've been playing a lot of FIFA lately and watching the games. He's the best little guy to do it and I've got to be the best little guy to do it at No10 in the NBA. That's my goal.
It was just weird. Once you get the ball and you get in a situation, it's like haywire, everything goes crazy, and everybody's running around. You don't know who to pass it to or what to do. So Coach said just slow down and just make the right play. I tried to get the best look I could at the basket.
I knew for a while but I didn't want to tell anybody. We came out here and practiced with Spud and everything went great.
I let the game come to me and get everybody involved.
I'm pretty far along, but I still got a long way to go. Coach says I have to take it in steps and it's something I'm learning to do every day, just come in and pay attention more and more to details, the little things I can do to make myself better.
It was a great day. I pretty much let the game come to me. I was just trying to get everybody involved. We just waited on the bench for our numbers to be called. Today was a great day to showcase our talent.
It's hard -- they shouldnt have even made that,
It seemed like they could look at each other and not call a play and know exactly what play they're running. They are so poised.
We had to get in touch with him, so we did and he was like, 'Yeah, sure.
Even though it was a negative thing that happened, I wasn't feeling too bad, 'cause a positive thing came out of it, ... I don't fault Miami for anything; I'm just here at Rutgers, at home, where I'm happy.
