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 saw the double team coming, I tried to beat it and go faster.
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.
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 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.
