clicking offensive teammates trying
When we are clicking on the offensive end, making shots, you get your teammates involved. That's what I was trying to do tonight.
effective guys whatever
We've got guys that can play. Whatever I can do out there that's effective and positive, I just try to do.
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.
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.
argue brothers girls love sisters
It doesn't matter. We're family. Family's got to argue sometimes. At the end of the day, brothers still love brothers. Sisters still love sisters. But there's no girls on the team.
trying
I was just trying to do what I do,
adjusting early expect felt games hit ready surprised
I was just ready, ready for anything. I was surprised (at early success). I didn't expect to hit my first three. But I felt good, even early in the day I felt good. I've got to do a little more adjusting to the game. It will come with more games played.
good indiana memories
I think I did a lot of good things in Indiana also that's probably been overshadowed. I think those will be in my memories more than the other stuff.
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.
bit experience nice shoot
I think more experience . . . my (jumper) is a little bit more wet, ... When I shoot it, it's so nice and pure. I'm more automatic.
playing wild
I'm still going to be playing hard, out of control, just wild like an animal,
basketball keeping looking
Nah. I'm not looking to do that. I'm keeping the same perception.
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.
caliber everybody figured goal good playoffs saw team traded walk win
I saw the team that I was traded to and I just figured we were good enough to get in the playoffs. I still feel we have a championship caliber team. We're in the playoffs and now our goal is to win the whole thing. Everybody on this team is committed. We're going to walk the walk.
