My goal is to be able to play wherever my team needs me.
I know that sacrifices have to be made to play with good teams.
We didnt come out with any energy. We know were not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didnt have too much room for error.
If you want to win, you have to sacrifice and do what makes the team work most efficiently.
The stereotype of a leader is one who talks and peps people up and things like that, but in actuality you have to listen to your teammates.
It's just playing one game at a time, that's how I take it. I play as hard as I can for however many minutes that I play .... It's my job, I love playing basketball, I love the NBA. I just look forward to playing every day, and I'm sure it doesn't take much for me to get up before the game.
(My teammates) were making fun of me, saying I took the night off, I was fouling on purpose. But the outcome is we won the game, a lot of the guys played well, and this will bring a lot of confidence for other guys.
They basically told me I have the right to be more vocal, you have the right to push everybody else when some guys are slacking off some days. They want me to do a better job of getting on them and demanding the best of them, because that's what all the great players do, they demand the best out of their teammates, and make everybody better.
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.
I think coach knows I can make plays. He wanted to get me over the hump with plays like that because we play of lot of games where we're in that situation.
It is insignificant if you don't win the game.
He's a threat, he can play. His success has helped us as a team. He's been getting in the paint, he's been getting guys a lot of wide-open shots and he's been getting easy buckets. He can shoot the three and he doesn't take many bad shots, so when you have a point guard who can do all those things and create on the offensive side you can do a lot of things.
Hopefully, this is the last year I won't be busy at this time of year.
I'm sure that's what they're trying to do, they're trying to do something. All I can do is hope and pray and give my little two cents to the guys upstairs and they're going to make their decision.
