There was no way I could have taken the final shot tonight. They had three people right there, and Earl Watson was wide open.
Every time we play San Antonio, it's always going to be tough. They send two or three people at me. . . . I knew my shot wasn't going down from the outside. I just tried to keep going to the hole and get some fouls.
Not really. I can see if it was a couple of years ago (when there wasn't as much West forward depth). I understand now there's a lot to people at my position.
Last year I showed people a little of what I can do. I didn't give them the whole shebang.
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.
