I saw the double team coming, I tried to beat it and go faster.
I saw a double (team) coming and I just tried to beat it. I just had to go fast.
I think in certain situations last year and the year before last I would have tried to take that shot with three people on me. But I've seen even if I don't shoot the ball to win the game, I can win the game by passing it out of a double team.
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.
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.
Yeah, I think that was the best of any big shot I've hit, most likely. I didn't have nothing to do, but to shoot.
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.
Regardless of who it was, I was going to the hole. They weren't going to stop me that time. I was either going to get a foul or a dunk.
I think I brought it on myself. I guaranteed a gold medal (before the Olympics). I'm not doing that this time.
I think I'm starting to get into a rhythm a little more. I'm focusing more.
It didn't seem like he had 40 points.
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.
