I think us sitting out together, watching the Phoenix game, we really both couldn't wait to get back in and help our team. I think it showed that we missed being out there and we wanted to do whatever we could to help the team get a win.
This was a good one for me as far as my consistency goes because that's a good team that doesn't beat itself. It was just a matter of pulling the trigger and making my shots.
We don't get into that whose-team-it-is. We know that we need both of us to be on top of our games for this team to be as good as it's going to be because this team was built around us.
I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.
I'm the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, 'What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?'
We were more aggressive in the second half. I just did not want us to lose. I do what I can to help my team win. I was just doing what I can to help my team win.
Some games it's just guys have open shots and they take them, and when they miss it looks worse.
That was probably the only game I didn't get hurt my rookie year.
He has been playing the game at a high level lately, playing like an All-Star.
I had an unbelievable opportunity here to try and follow in similar footsteps [of Michael Jordan], but in a different capacity hopefully. I took that opportunity and I'm excited about it.
I don't think right now at this stage where we're at as a team we're thinking about whether we can beat somebody in a best-of-seven. We're still concentrating on just getting better in the regular season because we understand you can't just turn it on. The good teams play well most of the year, especially late in the year. We're just trying to kick it in for the rest of the season now.
I always do it (watch film). Even when I have good games, I always try to watch and see the things I did good and the things I did bad and try to learn from a way a team is playing me and different things like that.
I've only scratched the surface of where I want to be in my career, ... And I know one thing, I haven't won anything yet so there's a lot more I can do there. But I'm going to continue to get better and do what I can to help my team be the best it can possibly be.
