Drew goes with the flow. When he gets the ball, he produces. We don't run many plays for him. He had a hell of a game for us. We'll need him to do it again Friday.
The way he's coached us the first week of training camp and now in the preseason has been great. He has a lot of pressure because he's a rookie head coach, but we don't look at him like that. He's been on championship teams his whole life and he's going to bring that same intensity to us.
I've told you guys I'm not going to force anything. Flip had a wide-open three. He hit the big shot for us.
I've always been a pass-first type player. But my teammates come to me and tell me to be more aggressive, sometimes be more selfish. And it's kind of hard because that's not my game. But when my teammates ask me to do something like that, I got to take it and run with it.
To win in this environment was excellent. I'm not sure if I ever won here. I told you I was not going to have two bad games in a row.
After a great win like that, you don't want everyone to scatter. I wanted to get everybody together and let them know that we are all in.
They've got a lot more firepower than us. We played as well as we could. We gave great effort. That's all we can ask for.
They've given us trouble, no doubt about it. This is the team that's given us the most trouble thus far.
They took advantage of us and things didn't go right for us. We won on their court, we won on our court so now it is going to come down to the wire.
They scored some easy buckets and got up big early. We wasted a lot of energy trying to catch up.
They made their run. We just wanted to put them away.
You don't give up. We still made our run. It never got to a point where we gave up on ourselves. But when you make a run down those many points, it's hard to make another run.
There's a bit of swelling but I'm going to put some ice on and see how it feels.
This is the second or third time he's done that here.
