I'm my own biggest critic, and the only way I'm going to improve is to see what I was doing wrong.
Everyone talks about success, but what happens before? There's always something you have to overcome.
Life is not going to be sweet all the time.
Failure either breaks people or it makes them succeed.
I want to bring that childlike approach every night - just go out there and have fun. I want to play like a kid, for fun but with intensity. Play to win.
We finally get it to six and we stop doing those things sometimes. I can't explain it and it comes with experience. We keep seeing what (bad) happens when we try to it another way. We have to learn.
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 should have better prepared ourselves mentally. We weren't ready for it and by the time we realized it, it was too late.
To be a part of the world's elite instead of the just league's elite is a little more special.
You look at the replay and you let me know if that was a foul. Everybody keeps saying it's OK, but you got to draw the line sometime. I got fed up with it. I'm not saying what I did was wrong. I think it helped us out.
With a smaller guy, I should have taken him to the post. I should have given up the ball and cut to the post. I was just too busy trying to make a play that I shouldn't have. I should have been a little smarter.
We didn't quite find that killer instinct. We gave ourselves a chance late and we played smart, just some little things cost us this one.
We definitely have to shoot our free throws better because if make our free throws it's a little different ballgame.
We know what we have, we know what we do on the practice court, and we know what's in our hearts. We're really going to try hard.
