couple falling game opportunity thank truly
Everything is just falling into place. I do feel great. I feel good, thank God. I'm very, very appreciative of this opportunity that I have. And I play the game like I'm appreciative, because I truly am. I know a couple years ago, I didn't think I was going to be able to do this again.
again enjoy opportunity treasure
Always treasure the opportunity. He's got another opportunity to play again when he's 28, 29. Enjoy it. Enjoy it while you can.
breathe life
We did nothing but breathe life into this team, that's all we did.
contender hope improve run
We know we have to improve defensively to be a contender down the stretch. I just hope we don't run out of time.
career carry finishing god maybe needs next plan torch until year
I'll carry the torch until it needs to be passed. Hopefully, God willing, I plan on finishing my career here, if it be this year or maybe next year.
aggressive attacking attention average bit draws effort game man open
Because he draws so much attention and is so aggressive attacking the basket, I'd like to see him find the open man just a little bit more. He could average 10 assists a game if he made a concerted effort to do that. But the man is only 24 years old.
given intense playing reflect situations sure time
I'm sure these two years have given him some time to reflect and think differently. But at the same time, I know we'll get into some intense situations on the court. And if we're not playing up to our potential, we're going to see the old Riles.
looking year
Come on, man. He's 24 years old. When I was 24 years old, I could play all year round. I was always looking for a run. Always.
pick picked time
It's an unfortunate circumstance. But if I had to pick a time to get injured, I'd have picked this time, before we go into the post-season.
games instead leg matter nba percent route talking win
It's a matter of when my leg is ready. We're talking about 16 games we've got to win (en route to the NBA championship), and I want to make the right decision. As we progress, I want to be 100 percent instead of 75 percent or 65 percent.
contribute needed nights order
All of us needed to contribute in order for us to get that win. Some nights are going to be like that.
achieved beak except gotten nobody positive
All I know is we're going into the All-Star beak on a positive note. But we haven't achieved anything. Nobody has done anything except gotten to the All-Star break.
effort guys job
The effort that we put forth, it's not his fault. He put the guys in that he trusted, that he thought would get the job done.
anybody close lose man
It's devastating to lose anybody in your family. But I don't know a man who's not close with his mom.
