Talking to the doctor helped us a lot. We got a lot of stuff off our chests. A lot of guys were holding things inside, and we were all frustrated. We cleared a lot of things up.
Those rebounds were crucial. We've got four guys in there and they've got two, and we can't get the ball. It's heartbreaking.
That's what we don't have right now. I think a lot of guys are down right now, but we've got to stay positive. It's a long season.
He stepped up. Our other guys were in foul trouble a little bit.
It’s kind of like, I would say, maybe college recruiting. I’m pretty sure a lot more goes into it in the NBA. A lot more money is spent. I’ve heard stories, guys getting called right at midnight. It’s something that I haven’t experienced. I may want to go through it. I haven’t thought about it at all.
I feel like nobody can stop me off the dribble. At crunch time, we're looking for somebody to score and I definitely want to be the guy who has the ball in his hands.
I knew it was going in. It didn't feel like it was going to rattle out, hit the backboard or anything.
I knew I wasn't (starting). I'm not upset. The players out there deserved to start.
I knew I wanted to take the last shot. I never doubted that it would go in. When I started to penetrate, there were nine seconds left, so I knew I had to make a decision quickly. I didn't want to shoot too early and give them a chance to score on the other end.
I like it a lot. I plan on taking a lot of shots in that spot.
I kind of (get up a little bit more for Louisville). Just because I'm from there. I know a lot of those guys.
I love it. I think it's a mistake for teams to press us.
It was a completely different style of play. I had to speed up and be more vocal to keep up with the other players.
I want the ball in my hands at the end of the game. I want to make something happen.
