The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth.
The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice.
We shot ourselves in the foot. I thought we were so close to busting open, but we gave it away.
I'll put that in my house, ... Something like that, that sums up last season. And when I look at that 20 years from now, it tells a story and that's what means the most.
I'll give it to him. He had a heck of a night making shots with a hand in his face.
I just had to get a shot off. Eddie Jones is a great defender. It went in our favor because it took a lot of seconds off the clock.
I played with a lot of young players that don't care and think they have the answers. Just knowing that he wanted to be helped, it was easy. Now, hopefully he'll repay the favor to young guys coming into the league.
I just want to make sure my mom is safe,
I never apologize for blowing anybody out. I love it. Let us have our moment to be able to play.
It's no fun to think about individual success when as a team you don't make the playoffs. I don't really take pride in what I did because the team didn't do well.
If you're asking me and anybody else on this team, who you'd like to have as coach (before the season), Bob is the natural choice. He was a joy to be around and I wanted to win games for him. I think there were times when I put too much on my shoulders to make things better. In this case, we all let Bob down.
If you come out one night and you're cheating the game, cheating yourself, cheating your teammates, you know it inside. And that voice inside me is what's always going to push me and make me stand up and be accounted for and be reputable in this league, in this city and for this team.
I just tried to keep pressure on him offensively, because if he's not working on one end of the floor, he can use more energy offensively. So I just tried to keep him moving.
I think all of us had respect for coach McMillan. Some of us may not have liked his style, but it got results. We were successful with it and you have to give him credit for that. He deserves that.
