Having three, four power forwards out there on our team, being so deep at that position, at this point, it really doesn't matter.
I can't worry that we didn't get him. It was rumors all along.
I couldn't sleep last night due to the pain. I tried to go out there and play tonight, but by the third quarter it started tightening up on me.
I wanted to play. (But) it's nothing I can be upset about.
After this road trip, I think it will say a lot about us and where we stand.
I don't even know what happened out there, it was all so fast.
(Karl) just told us management had to make a decision.
I'm just excited about the project. I think that we are going to have a lot of fun to come.
I take this as motivation. It's nothing to be upset about. I can't take away and nobody else can take away what I've done this season.
I was edgy my first two games just to get out there and start my career. You saw me settle down more than I did the first two games.
They kept hitting me in the side of the ribs. Just in the heat of battle. I twisted it (in the third), and then I twisted it again. I wanted to come out, but I didn't want to come out. We were trying to make a run.
My team needed me out there to get some things done. At halftime I just told them it's time for me to wake up and just go out there and win the game.
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 know him pretty well and it hurts me to see him like that. Once you have back problems, they're not going to go away the next day or the next week. If I could tell him anything, I'd just say relax and rest it.
