badly breaking team
We did our job, but when a team is doing badly it's usually because they are breaking down offensively. We were just there at the right time.
against charlotte drop face great row series three tough
We didn't want to drop three in a row before we have to face a tough Charlotte team. They always play us tough. It's going to be a great back-to-back series against them.
attack played pressure trash waited
We know we played like some trash out there. And now we know we need to play a lot better than we did. We need to put the pressure on them. I think we just set back and waited for them to attack us. We have to be the first ones to be aggressive.
area attack shoot trying
I wasn't even in attack mode. I was just trying to come off the pick-and-roll. If there was a mismatch, I was just trying to get to the rim or into the 15-foot area where I could just try to shoot over them.

We have to take advantage of the opportunity we have here. We're going to be at home for a while. This is where we can make our climb in that Eastern Conference.
cut field forgot game gave lane plan second tried
In the first half, we forgot our game plan and (James) was just getting down the lane. In the second half, we tried to cut the lane off, and I don't think we gave him a field goal.
areas defensive great growing knows
In this league, it's about growing up. That's one of the areas I've got to grow up in. . . . Everyone knows I can score. Everyone knows I can do all these great things, but if you want to be an MVP in this league, you've got to do everything. I've just got to become a better defensive player.

I just have a different way of approaching things. I'm a little offbeat.
body nervous time
I'm not as nervous as I was. The first time you do anything, you get butterflies. Your body feels, I don't know, kind of strange.

I know what he would say. He'd say protect yourself. ... Things have changed. Things are a lot more physical now then they ever were before.
bad couch dollars encourage few hoping ideas lost people seeing sitting watching
I know that everyone has been watching and they feel bad for all these people so I was hoping that by seeing a face, someone they recognize, doing something to help, it will encourage everyone to come up with ideas for how they can help, ... We all can do something. If you're sitting on the couch watching TV, you can do something. Even if it's just donating a few dollars or some clothes, you can make a difference. These people lost everything they had in the world. They need our help.
pay somebody until
I'm on a mission. Somebody has to pay. Somebody is going to pay until I end my career.
anybody guess name since
I just don't like the name 'captain.' Ever since I was little. I guess I'm a doer. I just do me. I don't like to tell anybody else what to do.
