We didn't want to get blown out on national TV. I just wanted to be assertive and just try to hit the open shots and drive to the basket, which I'm always capable of doing. So the MVP was never in my mind; just winning the ballgame.
We didn't want to get blown out on national TV. All in all, this is a game and we just want to have fun, but you know we're all competitors and our competitive nature kicked in at one point.
We didn't trust our teammates as much as we should have in the fourth quarter. If they are going to double-team me, I'm going to give up the ball. We're just not knocking down shots.
We've spoken all year. We all just talk about just trying to lead our team. We're not saying all the way to the finals, but when I say lead our team, that's just going out and doing the right thing, on the court and off the court.
We're real confident right now. We can win in any kind of game, up-tempo games, grind it out games, on the road games especially, which we were able to capitalize on this year. It's showing how much our team has grown.
That's tradition, that's the only place we know we're going to play very well. I'm excited for them. I'm happy they got there. That shows it doesn't stop just because I left.
We played as well as we could and gave a great effort. They have a lot more firepower than us.
I just wanted to try and be aggressive. I wanted to try and put Boston away. If you let them hang around, they have some dangerous weapons.
I just wanted to do a great job of going out there and attacking to help my team win any way possible. I was able to do that.
I just wanted to be aggressive. On the road, you don't want to settle for jump shots. I was going to the hole and getting to everyone's body. I was trying to finish over them and create contact.
I'll start out on Lamar. There are times I will have Kobe. I'm going to take on the challenge. We'll try to get out and run and control the tempo.
I'll never be disappointed in my team. But we were not mentally prepared and took things for granted. We can't do that.
I knew this was going to be a great game. We just made the best plays at the end of the game.
I knew I had to be aggressive. This was an important game. What's awesome is that we won the season series and have done a great job in our division.
