everybody felt front gave good people
It felt good to play in front of people again. They gave everybody good receptions, so I was happy.
baggage coming either haunts past people somewhere starting trade
I still think my past haunts me here. I think somewhere else I'm starting fresh. I'm coming in with baggage but people already know about it and how I'm going to be. Either they're going to be for me or they're not going to trade for me. Here I think my past haunts me.
attention people
We've had people's attention (for a while). I think people are going to come after us like we're the No. 1 seed, like we're favorites.
fault funny leadership maybe partly people time
It's the first time in a long time that I've been complimented on my leadership skills. Partly it was my fault that I hadn't been complimented in the past. Maybe some people just weren't recognizing.
good help people
I just wanted to do something that could help the kids. It's good to see people happy.
definitely five four last people situations sure
I'm going to definitely take it upon myself to make sure we don't get in situations like we have in these last four or five games. I take it upon myself to make sure we win, and I'm sure people will follow. We did it once before, we'll do it again.
miss missed thousand
I've said it a thousand times. Referees miss calls. They missed that one, too.
gotten involved nine
I should have gotten myself more involved in the first nine minutes. I had to have gotten myself more involved in the first quarter.
defensive intensity
Our defensive intensity wasn't there. We slacked a little bit.
ball body came
Ostertag came at me with his body. He really came and went for the body first and the ball second.
crowd fed love
Sac is different. I love Indiana, but it's different out here. The crowd is unbelievable. When I was in Indy, the crowd fed off me. Here, sometimes I wasn't even in the game, and they were going crazy.
sorted trade
There's no trade right now, but they (the Pacers) said they were going to try to get something sorted out to get the trade done.
lost move opposed playing team won
I was more disappointed that we lost as a team as opposed to playing poorly. We just have to move on and get better. The big thing is we should have won this game.
became college feels good high school
It feels like high school again. I had a really good team, and I was a much better leader. When I got in college and the NBA, I became selfish. Now, I'm back to my high school days.
