I always keep my ear to the street and my eyes on the television.
Every team goes through changes. It's up to us as players to put that aside and just play. It's hard to see positives getting beat by 20, plain and simple.
We just got steamrolled. I don't think it's a step back because it's not like we played to the best of our abilities. We got beat by 20. We know what we didn't do.
We were panicking a little bit too much, some guys were looking like they didn't know what was going on. Thank god we won.
Some nights are like that, especially on the drive and kick. They sucked us in and knocked down threes. It's not too many nights in the league on the road where you have shooting games like that. So you have to tip your hat off to them for all of those threes.
People support their country here a lot, and being in a diverse city, I expect it.
Sometimes when I have a 1-on-1 advantage and teams don't do a good job of either doubling or clogging the paint, that works to my advantage.
We should have better prepared ourselves mentally. We weren't ready for it and by the time we realized it, it was too late.
After the first quarter, we look up at the score and we hear the fans getting on us, that's when we come to play harder. But we have to play like that in the first quarter.
They play pretty good without Iverson. They have a lot of guys who really step up to the plate and accept that challenge without him. It's still really a good team without him.
You play anybody and if they shoot 70 per cent from three, they're going to be tough to beat.
The mood always lightens after a win. People are nicer, the food tastes better, practice is a lot more fun,
Coach ( Sam Mitchell ) told us at the half that they (Charlotte) seem to want the game more than us, and we came out in the second half with more intensity.
That's when my thoughts started to change, and I continued to talk to Bryan, and we developed our relationship we have now. He said 'I think I have a good reputation and I don't want to change that.' He doesn't want to ruin his name by not making this franchise better.
