Playing a top team like the Heat, with all their veterans, really lets us know where we stand. You could see we need a couple more days to regroup.
Nobody thought that I was going to make it to the NBA. I only had a couple of believers growing up.
As far juicing goes, I've done it for a couple of years; it's very good to cleanse the body. Doing the smoothies and getting the fruits and veggies in there just gives you more energy. You'll feel quite different after a couple weeks of doing it. Be consistent with it and you'll see it really makes a difference.
Rolexes never lose value, so I started getting a couple of them. I like them. Not only do they look good but they work very well.
Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll get my invite. Actually, tomorrow I should have my invite.
I think we could have had a win tonight. Detroit stepped it up on the defensive end and won the game, but the next time, we'll know what to do.
We really needed a win tonight, especially on the road. My mind-set tonight was to really focus in on bearing down and getting a win. I wanted to do everything in my will to get that win tonight.
We can win games at home. But we seem to lose focus on the road.
We had a lot of careless mistakes but I think that our defensive pressure was not there the whole game. We gave them easy baskets on our turnovers and that's one thing our coaches have been impressing on us all year.
Our coach said before the game, we got three good teams coming up in Miami, Dallas and San Antonio. We want to go out and try to beat all three teams. We started off tonight with a good win.
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.
Man, we're supposed to get wins like that, ... That's a tough loss.
It feels good. From the get-go, we knew we could beat these guys. The story all year has been us not playing up to our potential, not playing as well as we can. When we do that, we lose, and that happened a lot earlier in the season. We've learned that we have to come out with the kind of intensity we had tonight every night.
The playoffs are the last thing on our mind right now. We just want to come out, play every night and give 100 percent for out fans and just for ourselves.
