It's frustrating to lose the ballgame, especially when we're giving a valiant effort, ... It's doubly frustrating because of the way I've been playing. The guys are doing what they can to help us win ballgames, and they need me to step up and play the way I'm capable of playing.
It's ... a situation that's more geared to wanting to win and be a playoff team. The sooner the better.
In the second quarter we just could not score. We had nine points in the second quarter, and obviously in the NBA, you can't win with that.
You're a win streak away from striking distance.
At the end of the day, we're all going to be judged by wins and losses and since they're not a first-place team, he's going to take a lot of criticism but I think he's made some good moves.
A lot of times when you're down and you have an overall record like we have, it's easy to look up at the score and say 'here we go again. We pulled together, we persevered, and obviously were not going to take is as more than one game, but it does feel good to get a win on the road.

I thought about taking the three, but when you're 0-for-5, I guess you've got to get a better look at it.
It's putting years on my career. I'm never angry or upset about it.
Don't get me wrong, it's nothing to celebrate, it's nothing you want to be on the butt end of the jokes about. But it's kind of like losing the Super Bowl or the championship. In 30, 40 years, when somebody breaks his record, you know, nobody's going to remember who it was against.
It felt good to be out there, hear your name called, what college you went to.
