There was a lot of hacking going on.
Right now the best part of my game is my defense. I'm always guarding players who are bigger and stronger so I try to use my quickness.
Winning 60 is a special season. Unfortunately, we've won 60 twice and been the fourth seed twice.
We were up five and I had the rebound. I don't know what I was thinking. I tried to dribble the ball out of the pack. Then they got a three-point play. Everything kind of went wrong, that could have gone wrong in that last minute.
We will miss Adi a lot with rebounds,
We've been down before. With the shooters we have, anything is possible.
We've been down before. We knew if we could find a way to make a little push, we'd have a chance. With the shooters we have, anything is possible.
We were right there, but it was just a tough shooting night.
I started to play the guitar for a couple of years, which was fun. I still bring it out once in a while, could bust out a couple of songs, but I'm not very good at it.
I try to stay away, but In-N-Out, you just can't compare it. It's the best. It's the best. It's healthy fast food; they do their own meat and their own salad.
I don't think the Whataburger would dunk on the In-N-Out Burger, but I never really liked Whataburger or all the other burgers. McDonald's is decent, I guess, but no, the In-N-Out Burger kills them all.
I think I can always shoot 3s. I think I can shoot 3s when I'm 60.
My dad never really played basketball, but now he's my biggest critic. I come home, and he says: 'Why didn't you shoot there? Why didn't you drive?'
I never looked at basketball as work. I always enjoyed it as my hobby. I loved it. Once that love is gone, and I'm tired of working out every day and doing all the stuff to get me ready for games, and I'm tired of lifting and conditioning and doing all that other stuff around it, and I'd rather stay in bed, then it's time to go.
