felt game help maybe shots trying
I felt OK. I was trying to help out in any way that I could. First game back, a lot of shots were short. Maybe it was fatigue. But I can only get better.
aggressive foul people puts trouble trying
There were so many people in foul trouble that it puts you at a disadvantage when you're trying to play aggressive defense.
chris coach great needs playing plays pushing settle team trying
Chris Kaman has been his pupil. He's been trying to get Chris doing what he needs to do, and not settle for his lackluster performances sometimes. I think Coach has really been pushing him to be a better player. Now Chris is playing better, he's getting more confident, and our team is playing a lot better when he plays well. So it's great to see that.
players points
Without him, it's like 30 points that's gone. So you can't really make that up. You need to have a lot of players make that up, and they just can't do it right now.
aggressive attacked energy supposed
We just didn't come out with the energy that we were supposed to. They jumped all over us and were very aggressive and attacked us.
We're not there yet, but it's not blurry.

I expect to play hard. What I do is based on getting to the basket, drawing fouls, and getting to the line.

He's definitely the Most Valuable Player. He takes control of his team, puts them in great positions to make shots and he's been doing that the whole time. Every time he does that, they get great looks.
bring coach minutes playing ready team turn wait whatever
For sure. I'm always ready to get out there and do whatever the team needs, but Coach isn't really playing me significant minutes right now. That's fine. We're winning, so I'll just wait my turn and bring it off the bench.
beat settle
We need to have a different focus. If we settle for just making the playoffs, we're going to get beat in the first round.
biggest complacent continue energy ourselves prepare
The thing we need to do now is not get complacent about 42. The biggest thing now is to continue to play with the energy we play with, and prepare ourselves right now for the playoffs.
begging until wait
I was begging them, too. But they told me to wait until Friday.

I know he expects big things out of me.
biggest starting teams understand
His biggest thing is, ... is that we can do something different. Teams are starting to understand we're not the same old Clippers.'
