coach create ok shoot shots
If I'm open, I'll shoot the ball. I take shots that coach will be OK with. I don't try and create too much.
glad living shot
I'm just glad the shot went in. I haven't thought about the importance. I'm just living the moment.
forget guys shooting soon start
Guys can tell you I never let anything get to my head. I forget about this as soon as we go (to practice) and we start shooting around.
bitter knocked last left nobody sweet taking tough year
Hopefully, nobody is taking the Sweet 16 for granted. Last year was tough on me. We left with a bitter taste, getting knocked out in the first round. We wanted to get back and we have.
daniel knock
All the focus, all the talk, is about the big men. But Daniel (Gibson) and A.J. (Abrams) and I know we have to knock down shots.

I had to enjoy it last night, because it's short-lived. We've got another big game coming up.
daniel focus running scoring worry
Daniel doesn't have to worry about running the show and can focus on scoring the ball.
defense difference game open picked second today transition
I think the difference today was that we picked it up on defense in the second half. We got our transition game going and we got some open looks.
collapse game guys open opened
It opened up my game a lot. Defenses collapse on the other guys and I've been getting open looks.
adjustment cherish forever life maine pace people quietness sides slow time traffic
A lot of time to do nothing. Going from the high-speed life of L.A., with the traffic and everything, to the quietness of Maine and the slow pace that they live was just a big adjustment for me. It's something that, I look back now and I cherish because you see just two different sides of how people live and every day lives. It's something that will forever be on my mind.
contested fog normal shoot sure
It's just a fog to me right now. I'm not sure if it was contested or not. I was able to shoot it like a normal shot, though.
ball came caught felt good leaving push shot
The play was designed, if they made a three, to push the ball up the floor. A.J. Abrams came to my side. I called for the ball. It was on the money. I caught it and shot it. It felt good leaving my hand, but I had no idea it was going in.
ball calling came designed felt good hit left quick run shot side
The play was designed that way. If they hit a 3, we just wanted to get the ball out quick and run it down the floor. A.J. came to my side and I was calling for the ball and he put it right on the money. I just shot it. When it left my hand, it felt good but I had no idea it was going in. Luckily, it went in.
playing san
We're playing in our back yard. We think it will be like it was in San Antonio. That was amazing.
