basically felt game player thrown
I haven't been able to practice. I felt like a new player who was basically thrown into the game with little experience.
generous gets guys line million single team tone tough
Their two guys went to the free-throw line a million times and that set the tone for the night. It's tough to play a team that gets every single call. Those guys got too many generous calls.
accept changes coming given happy hopefully position role starting whether
I'm in a position where I have to accept the role that's given to me now. Hopefully it changes in the future, but for now, I'm just happy to accept the role, whether it's starting or coming off the bench.
against compete guys help looking played themselves work
I just think when you have guys who've played ... things will work themselves out. We're not looking to try to compete against each other. I think we can help each other because we pretty much know each other's game.
decision far traded whatever
I'm just waiting, man. Whatever they decide. . . . As far as a decision if I'm going to get traded or not.
allen chris good played seen
I have never seen Allen and Chris play that good together. They played off each other and they were able to get the victory.
accustomed continue hopefully
I really didn't know too much about what was going on in the beginning. Now, as I got accustomed to it, hopefully we can continue to build.
early groove guys hard looked pick score
I just didn't get in a groove early and it was hard to pick it up. I thought I'd come in and score 70. It looked like everyone was lethargic. I put our guys in a bind.
brought far forward guys help looking next pieces reasons speculate team
As far as the future, I can't speculate on things like that. I'm looking forward to being one of the pieces here. That's one of the reasons why they brought me here, to be one of the guys to help the team get to the next level.
advantage fourth guys hands open takes
The ball's pretty much in his hands in the fourth quarter. And he takes advantage of the opportunities -- getting guys open or even getting his own shot.
ball considered defend difficult explosive face great hand love player shot time
Don't get me wrong, I love Gil's game, but if I shot the ball every time down on offense, I'd be considered explosive as well. He's a great player so you have to get a hand in his face and you have to make him defend on the other end of the court. We made it difficult for him tonight.
game hard
It was a competitive game and sometimes you get hard fouls.
help losing night team top tough vision
It's tough because you have a vision of what you can do to help a team but then it kind of snowballs on top of you and you end up losing night in and night out.
ball saw turned
I turned the ball over. I thought I saw something that wasn't there.
