I was frustrated in the game because it seemed that teams were forcing me to work so hard for shots coming off the perimeter, ... It got to a point where we started off having to take too many long shots, too many tough shots.
We forced them to take shots on the perimeter. We kind of took what they were trying to do away from them.
The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth.
He (Butler) turned it on and made some shots and I was just trying to stay with him. I tried to keep him away from the ball and he still made some tough shots.
I'll give it to him. He had a heck of a night making shots with a hand in his face.
God could care less whether I can shoot a jump shot.
I'm always ready to step up and take that shot.
When I was open, I just knew it was time to make a shot.
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.
We started the first half tonight with that same muddy approach. We were lethargic and didn't have much enthusiasm. The attitude was there in the second half.
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.
I won't wear a watch all summer. It's nice not to have to worry about time.
I think we all believe we're a good team.
