against chance elite guys league personal player wants
It's every player's personal goal, to make the All-Star team. It's a personal accomplishment guys want to make to get a chance to participate against the elite players. Every player in this league wants to be there.
player games want
Many times, the game comes down to the final possession, the final shot. I want to become a better clutch performer. That's what separates the really good players from the really great players.
knew lose
I knew I could. It's all confidence. I don't ever lose that.
coach felt games great left matter onto step team win
It was just one of those games where you felt like you had to win it no matter what it took. It was a winnable game. Coach left me out there. I would be damned if I was going to come out even if he wanted. When I step onto the court, I'm out there to compete. We got the win and it was a great team effort.
escape good sort
It was just good to get out and have some sort of escape from all of the things I've been going through personally.

I'm not just a basketball player. I've got other talents.
deal great nice playing rhythm
I'm just in a nice rhythm right now. I'm playing with a great deal of confidence.
I've got to get myself going. Everything is on me right now.
bad funk offense ourselves performance poor winning
It was a poor performance and I think we just got too comfortable with ourselves during the winning streak. Right now, I am just in a real bad funk on offense and why, I don't know. It is just very disappointing.
confident contested defense defensive falling felt games shots stops three tonight
Tonight was one of those games where shots were falling for us. We felt confident in our defense that we could get stops on the defensive end. Granted, they scored 111 points, but a lot of those were contested jumpers and long three pointers.
balls coming hitting throwing
This was just a dream. Just coming out here and interacting with the guys, hitting some balls and throwing with the guys.
ball bounce chance gave great ourselves win
We gave ourselves a great chance to win the ballgame. We got great looks. The ball just didn't bounce the way we wanted it to. We just couldn't get over that hump.
coming defense eventually playing rest
Coming into the game, I was concentrating on just getting into the game, playing defense and rebounding, getting my legs, ... I thought the rest would eventually come together.
great half intensity played start third
As a team, we had great intensity to start the game. I think if we consistently do that and play the way we played in the first half and to come out in the third quarter, then we'll be all right.
