It was definitely an empty feeling coming into the game knowing we had no chance for the playoffs. My heart really sank.
That should come under the state's price-gouging law.
Really, it's an honor and I thank God that the team looks at me that way. I just want to try and be the kind of player that they think I can be.
They stuck with us the whole game. To me it felt like a little playoff game. It kept going back and forth.
Riding that bike and the little sideline running isn't basketball. My timing is still off, but it's basketball. It's what I do.
It's not impossible to win them all. You try to win every game. We've got six at home, where we've been playing well. If we keep playing hard and playing together like we have been, anything is possible.
Coach is going to have our backs, good or bad, and I think guys appreciate that. It feels good that your coach is sticking up for you, letting them know how you feel. But at the same time, we need to just play the game instead of complaining and whining about the calls.
They got a lot of weapons in the offense and they hit a lot of shots -- tough shots in the second half.
It's kind of a bad thing to lose Grant. But it's only preseason.
It's hard for me to block basketball out, but I'll try to stay away from it for a good month and a half. I expect us to be a little more serious, a little more business-minded next year. No team is going to give us anything.
I hated that perception that I didn't work hard, that I really don't love basketball.
That's been the story all year. In the fourth quarter, you get him the ball and he makes things happen.
Hopefully he won't look at it as a bad deal by Detroit. He will look at it as a chance to come in and really get a chance to play.
I just want to show Atalanta who I really am and show my teammates what kind of teammate I am.
