People decide if they want to be led, they'll be led. If they decide they don't want to be part of the system, they'll buck it.
We have to focus on the next (few) games before the deadline. Our production is ultimately going to decide what decision we need to or don't need to make.
The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth.
Everything has been very amicable. There just hasn't been any movement, and movement is me signing a contract.
Everything's blurry on the right side. The light getting in it aggravates it.
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.
I wanted someone to say something to knock me off my feet. And I was very disappointed. This organization, I knew what it was all about.
Sometimes it's like I have to remind myself that that really happened. We were a good team ... Not a long time ago, but last year. It's funny how things change so fast.
At the end of the day, what brought me back here was my players, the guys I've played with. That meant more to me than anything.
You have to stand up and be heard. You have to make a coach see you.
We did a good job of taking away some of their strong points. They (usually) move really well without the ball.
There's nothing shooting wise that I focus on. I just try to take what I'm given. As many threes as I've taken, I don't think there's a three I've taken that I didn't think I could make.
We got caught sleeping. We were so focused on the pick-and-roll coverage. Everybody turned and we said, 'Oh, you know what.' We got out to contest the shot, but it was too late.
We got away with one. That was something where I was like, 'Well, what can you do?' I can recall plenty of games in my career where I was on the opposite side of that.
