More importantly than that, his health is the No. 1 issue. If he can, if there's any way he can be back, I'm sure he will. But we need him to get healthy.
I just try to make the right play. Every night isn't going to be your night to score. I can do that, but I'd rather do whatever this team needs to win.
It was embarrassing. I thought we played hard for the last three quarters. It was hard playing catch-up. We ended up losing by six but the first quarter was devastating.
He's so smart. And he makes plays for everybody, including himself. He thinks the game. He knows the game. It will be a lot easier with him on the court.
Each loss was frustrating, going through each loss and seeing how far we had dropped. Because we know we're not this bad. It was a rough year for us, and next year will not be like this.
If there's a face that isn't here, it'll probably be mine, from all of the rumors. But I hope everyone's here. Myself included.
I just think guys are playing well. They're starting to execute. Different guys are stepping up each night. Tonight it was Jalen (Rose) and Eddy (Curry). Another time it could be Q (Quentin Richardson) and myself or any combination. We're a deep team. There are going to be a lot of games like tonight where we have seven in double figures.
We turned the ball over way too many times. I think we had 17 turnovers in the first half. There is no way you give yourself a chance to win that way.
We could have easily given up and moved on with our lives. But we wanted to continue and keep playing. ... Nobody wants to be embarrassed.
We could have easily given up and moved on with our lives. We all wanted to compete. That was embarrassing (in the first three quarters). Nobody wants to be embarrassed, so we had to get out there and play as hard as we can.
To me, he didn't do anything bad. Yeah, he left the court. I understand that. But if you saw your son or husband in trouble, you would do the same thing. He's a human being before he's an athlete.
We didn't know how it happened or how it started. Antonio is our family, and his family is our family, so when you see that, you're concerned.
We didn't want to leave a sour taste in our fans mouths. The positive that I take from this season is that I am very comfortable with my teammates. I feel like I am becoming a leader. We have to build chemistry, work hard this summer, and come into training camp jelling with each other.
We just had to slow down. As a guard, I'll take responsibility for that.
