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.
Right now everything needs to be pretty perfect for us to win a game, ... Last year, early on we won some games that we probably shouldn't have won and won in different ways. Right now, we're building a different makeup for this team.
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.
Our track record hasn't been good. We've lost so many close games in this building this season. We're learning some things about ourselves.
Records are always made to be broken. I have a long way to go, games to play, threes to hit. The key is getting to playoff basketball.
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.
Inside the first 20 to 25 games of the season, we were losing these games, getting beat by two and three points. Over the last 10 games, it seems like we're starting to win these games and putting some good things together.
The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth.
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.
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.
