I love it. I think it's a mistake for teams to press us.
I didn't score a lot, but I found another way to help us win. There will be times like this when teams stop my offense. When that happens, I just have to do something else. I'm just glad we won. I'm not mad or anything that I didn't score more. I'm just glad we won.
That's the type of style I like to play. I think that's not a smart thing for a team to do, to press us. I feel like I can beat anyone off the dribble.
We have to be mentally prepared for every team we play. If we play a team who has a big name on their chests, then we are going to come out ready. But if we play a team who doesn't have a big name or a star player, we have a hard time coming out ready.
I haven't even been thinking about it really. I'm just going to talk to coach. We will have a team meeting when we go back and (I'm) just (going to) focus on school.
Every team doesn't fit every person's style of play.
I was always about the team, regardless of our relationship wasn't working out or didn't work out.
I'm a point guard, so I want to see everybody else score and be happy. I don't necessarily need to score at all. I could be happy with zero points as long as it was a team game and everybody contributed.
Whatever my team needs - that's what I do.
They talked about teamwork. That's all it is. It's about team effort. No particular player trying to outshine each other. Playing unselfishly and believe. Good things will come.
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.
