along ball complement dominate double dribble feed forward gotten great looking playing teams
It's been great with Paul. I think I complement his game, because I don't dominate the ball that much. I'm more of a spot-up guy. I don't dribble the ball to get my shots. I feed off of him and the double teams he draws. We've gotten along great, and I'm looking forward to playing with him for a lot of years to come in the future.

I've never played in an offense like this where I have the ball so much and create for other people. This is fun.
ball criticism criticizes feels help himself needs puts respect shooting taken team wants win
It was awesome. I've got a lot of respect for that guy. All the criticism he's taken over the years, I don't think it's warranted at all. He puts himself out there, he wants to win, you can see it in his eyes. Everyone criticizes him for shooting too much but he's just doing what he feels he needs to do to help his team win ball games.

aggressive ball gets hands jump misses mistakes open shoot teammates wants
All K.G. wants his teammates to do when he gets doubled is be aggressive. I think he can live with aggressive mistakes and live with aggressive misses when you miss an open jump shot. It's just when you get tentative and you don't want the ball in your hands and you don't want to shoot it, that's when our team gets in trouble.

I meant no harm by the screen I set. I just tried to set a good, hard, legal screen and I think I did that. Hopefully, he's not holding a grudge or anything.
best found half second shots start stroke teammates
The best thing (Doc Rivers) did for me was start me in the second half because I got some shots in warm-ups and found my stroke a little bit. In the beginning, I was a little ramped-up and then was off and running. And my teammates made it easy.

apparently both emotions gave great minnesota mixed parties seven team time
I've got a lot of mixed emotions. Seven years is a long time to be with one team. I've got nothing but great things to say about Minnesota fans. The team gave me a great opportunity. But both parties apparently thought it was time to make a change.

It takes us getting our butts kicked to turn it on.
