I think last night they saw how hard it was for me out there making everything and doing everything and them not coming through. But (Saturday) I think we spread the wealth.
I was trying to set a screen for Andre Miller and just get open. I saw the double team coming and I just tried to beat it and go fast to the basket.
We have seven games on the road coming up. If we can win at least five of those games on this trip, it will define us as a team.
We came out sluggish but you can't take anything away from the way they shot the ball in the first half. Coming in here and starting off the way we did, we had to finish hard. The last five minutes we buckled down and took control of the game. We feel more confident in close games.
Both have given us a lot of intensity. Especially with Reggie coming off the bench. Reggie gives us energy and defensive pressure down low.
I don?t regret coming to college. I had a fun year. I had a great year on the court, and off the court at school.
He's looking good - better than what I thought he (would) coming back from a broken hand. He's looking real good.
It's a wonderful feeling. You know, this is another positive thing I can put on my resume. It's a great feeling coming out here on my home court and getting MVP of the Rookie-sophomore Game.
I saw a double (team) coming and I just tried to beat it. I just had to go fast.
I think we just came together seeing we were down. We couldn't lose our first game after the (All-Star) break so we had to focus in and we did a good job of that.
I think it was a little bit unfair for me because I didn't know what was going on. For (Brown) to come out and say what he said, he could have at least come to me first.
I saw the double team coming, I tried to beat it and go faster.
Our team needed me out there to get some things done on the offensive end and the defensive end. At halftime, I just told (the team) it's time for me to wake up.
Regardless of who they sent at me, I was going to the hole. We won the game, that's the only thing I'm happy about.
