I thought he played great. He played well in training camp. I'm excited about it. We played well with each other tonight.
I feel like everybody knows what is at stake. Everybody knows the importance of every game. We had a good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out because it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team.
For that to happen with 4.9 seconds left, it's devastating.
Last night they kind of took me out of the game defensively and my teammates stepped up. Tonight was just a little different. I stepped up in the fourth quarter. We just need everyone to contribute.
I think Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me.
If I had an explanation, I'd give it. We just got whipped from beginning to end. They did everything right, and we couldn't do anything right.
God blessed us, ... It rained but we're still out here. This is what life is about. I'm glad I could get out here to put some smiles on these kids' faces.
I don't think the loss will make us play any harder. If you aren't playing hard at this point, then you aren't going to be playing hard anyway.
She was laying on the floor and she'd be having her arm around me.
It's frustrating, because we wanted to go to the holiday with a win and unfortunately we couldn't do that. We have to get it out of our system, enjoy the holiday, and come back to work.
That is just something that I don't deal with. You may not think about it as much, but it is something that you must think about because if guys have families here and maybe have to get up and just leave. It would be tough, so it's something to think about. It is part of the business and you just have to deal with it as a professional.
Just getting back into the game and making it a game is all heart. It feels bad, though, because we don't give that effort in the beginning and then we start showing the heart when we're about to get blown out. You have to play like that in the beginning and get stronger as the game goes on.
My shot felt good from the beginning of the game to the end.
I talked to him before the game, and I asked him why in some games he is not aggressive, and some games he is. He gave me an excuse, and I didn't buy it. Andre is not selfish at all, but he has to be selfish in that sense, to try and get shots up, because we need him to.
