We cut the lead and started coming back, but we just had some mental (lapses) on defense at the end and that cost us the game.
We've been trying to get there (.500). We've been battling every night to get there. We look around our league and teams are losing, it's the perfect time to make a run before the All-Star break.
We can be good. But consistency has been our problem all year - putting a stretch of games together. That's what we've got to do right now.
I feel like I'm the best point guard in the league.
I try to get control of the tempo, control of the flow, and get my teammates the ball in the best position to score.
It seems like teams want a guy who can get 10, 11, 12 assists. That's the kind of player I want to be. Sometimes that is more important than scoring 30 points a night.
A lot of people have high expectations. I'm just going to do the best I can.
I'll take a nice assist any day over points.
Potential is the good of life -- action the secret key.
I've got a lot of favorite golfers.
I think my putting could be better, my short game.
We needed a win. We're trying to leave this road trip 2-2. We didn't do too well in the state of Florida.
We're still in it. We haven't been eliminated yet. We've just got to keep fighting.
We're trying to make the playoffs, that's our goal. We think we can do it. It's not like we're six or seven games out.
