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.
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 saw the double team coming, I tried to beat it and go faster.
You saw us playing the way we have to play down the stretch. The way we must play the rest of the way.
Shawn Marion overplayed it, he reached, and once I saw that, I knew I had a clear shot at the basket once I got my feet set. I wanted to win, even before I got my face smacked. Then I got energy from that, even though Eddie did it.
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 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.
