That is what I am battling right now so I am trying to do everything I can to be ready to go for our next game, so I am battling right now.
It's just about getting the ball around the area of the rim. Some guys hit some shots, we all do, that you just throw up and it goes in. But most of the time you're trying to get it around the area of the rim and give it a chance. You never know what can happen if you get it on the backboard.
They just played with more energy than we did. Our team was not as focused on defense as it should be. In the first two games we sent them into our big guys. Today, with Shaq in foul trouble, it was a different story.
They've got the curse on us that we've got on Washington right now.
There's times where I felt we've been there. After winning those four in a row you feel like you can run off some, then one or two things happen.
Not only am I confident in that situation, but Shaq has given me that go-ahead to say the fourth quarter is (my) time. When you get that, I don't worry about making a mistake. When I drive and his man comes, then I throw the ball to the rim. As long as I continue to do that, he'll continue to be happy.
It's just a respect factor. It's always going to be Coach Riley because of what he's done as a coach. He's still a coach.
It's just getting the ball in your hands and making a play. I've got confidence in myself and my teammates have confidence to get me the ball.
It's just getting familiar with what we're trying to do. I'm sure you'll see better spacing each time in the pre-season.
It's just a sprained ankle that's sore. It just happened so it's a quick turnaround. The doctors and trainers didn't want me to test it. A day to get it better tomorrow and we'll see.
It's feeling a little better. I got out there with the guys and moved around a little bit. I plan on playing even though it's a little sore.
It's a side of me that wants to make sure things are different this time around.
It's a totally different situation. I have other guys on my team.
It was on one bunny hop in the lane. When I pulled up, it caught right there. I just kept trying to play. I tried to stay going as long as possible. I'll be alright.
