I had my popcorn just like probably everybody else. I was watching, and I was calling people up on the phone to make sure they were watching it. It's like, when you see a game like that, you're so much a fan ...
I never seen a rookie get that many calls going to the basket. He kind of reminded myself of me when I was a rookie, just going in there and being able to get calls and all the veterans saying they never seen a rookie get calls like that.
God blessed me with another opportunity. If that didn't work, I'd probably be in (the interview room) now, losing a lot of money.

It probably was a fall and it swelled up on me. I kept playing on it. ... My doctors just said rest it as much as possible.
There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now.
They're targeting guys who dress like me, guys who dress hip-hop,
I had problems walking, so I knew I couldn't do any running. I couldn't do it. It's real swollen.
It felt like it was the first game of the season. It was just fun to be back out there and be in the environment and playing with my team and trying to help.
This is what you want. You want the big contract, and you want the people to show how much they want you. That's what Billy did today with those guys. He accepted them. It's important, because have some chemistry with each other. Sam and Kyle, they're starters on the team. I like the look of our team, and I like the direction we're heading. I'm just looking forward to trying to win a championship with them.
If I had an explanation, I would give it. We just got whipped from beginning to end tonight. During the season, you will have games like this.
I kind of was frustrated with myself in the sense that I was missing easy shots,
If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.
Every game is important for us. We didn't act like it tonight.
