aggressive capable finish gotta kick knock opportunity playing step
You just gotta play. You've got to be aggressive at all times. If you feel like you have an opportunity to step up and knock down a shot, you've got to knock it down. If you have an opportunity to penetrate and finish the play, you have to finish. If there's a penetrate-and-kick situation, you've got to kick it out. I think he understands. He's just not playing the way he's capable of playing right now.

It felt good to be out there and hear your name called. They had 20 more shots than we did, but we did a good job of keeping the turnovers low and knocking down open looks when we had them. We did a better job in the second half of playing defense.

When you're contesting those jumpers, yeah, it's tough to watch. But you know, it happened and you've got to deal with it. When you play ball, when you play sports, your failures go with success. You've got to be able to endure both.

We had a lot of positive moments from a lot of guys, that's why I take this loss upon myself. ... I feel like if I dealt with what I was supposed to deal with down the stretch, we would be in a victorious locker-room.

Just because I got traded doesn't mean we'll be able to compete with the Spurs and the Pistons right away.

That's the thing about the NBA it's all about runs. We didn't attack the basket and didn't get to the free-throw line enough. We came back but they put us out of range with that second quarter.
