I don't know if it was a wakeup call. Anytime you lose a game, you always look and see what you did wrong. I think in the last couple of games we've been getting ourselves down. So we want to come out with more energy and be more efficient.
The first few minutes were pretty rough on me. I actually told a couple of my teammates I wouldn't be out there for too long.
I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing.
I didn't have my athletic ability tonight the way I would have liked to have it. But I was able to make the plays I had to make with a couple blocked shots and a couple steals. I would have liked to have more athletic ability tonight, but I did what I had to do.
Second chances hurt us. They got a couple of second chance rebounds on us and that was the difference in us making the plays at the end.
Just the right place at the right time. Some nights are like that. I was able to get in a couple passing lanes and get some picks, but for the most part, it was just being in the right place at the right time.
A little shot in the butt. It started kicking in after a couple minutes out there and I felt good after that.
This builds character for a team, ... I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully, this will make us better.
I told him he's got to hold his end of the bargain up. I'm tired of carrying us.
No question at all. They're exactly the same.
That's a big reason the trade was made so we'd have a lot of guns.
It's kind of scary where he's at right now, at 21 years old and the way he dominates games. If I didn't know him, I would be surprised (by his development). He's one of the most level-headed guys I've ever met, and he has a will to be the best.
It's going to be hard to try to convince him anyway with a new baby on the way. That's something he has to decide.
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.
