I have my own little style that works for me, I don't try to bite into anybody else's style. When I get clothes made, I make them to my own taste and when you see me come into the arena, that's how I felt that day.
Last year was last year, ... We have a lot to prove. ... If you sense a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, it is. Because last year wasn't really pleasant. The finger-pointing. I felt like people didn't really look at themselves in the mirror. It's a new year. A new day. Happy to be back in the gym and get after it.
Any close game is a tough game. We lost to Houston last night and came in here with a little bit of an edge on us. I think we showed that a little bit. We came out with decent energy; the second half, we just didn't play well.
They had one of those nights where everybody's contagious. They didn't miss a shot. It deflated us a little bit because we were playing catch-up from the giddy-up. I think in the first half they shot 66 percent or something like that. That's crazy.
I thought the call that was before that was sort of a cheap call. I just came down and was frustrated. By no means was I trying to hit a fan. If anything, I was trying to get a delay of game. Unfortunately, that happened. I apologized to the little girl and her father.

I think there needs to be some style improvement but at the same time it has to be with in reasons.
Just being aggressive in the fourth quarter is what I'm focused on.
Whether you want to put faith in them or not, they do what they do and they do what they want to do, ... It's not my team. Glen Taylor, he and Kevin McHale try to put together a plan and I guess for whatever reason try to enforce it. But I don't think I'm the person to ask.
I'm so locked in that I was thinking we had more time. I should have fouled earlier. I'm thinking we had had him (Blake) trapped in the corner, but not thinking that he's sitting there waiting to be fouled with the clock running. It was stupid on my part.
I take a lot of pride in how I look,
We have our hand on the neck of the golden goose and we're squeezing hard.
Let me tell y'all something: Even though we've been losing and gone through some difficult times, man, we continue to keep our morale up. Our confidence has always been high.
That was so unfortunate. It could have happened to any of us. I kept telling him, 'You'll be OK. We're right there with you.
