coming fell good mind rhythm
I just fell into a rhythm and I had good looks. I didn't think twice, I just let it go when I had the shot. I don't mind coming off the bench. It doesn't matter.
last left stronger weak
I don't feel like I have a weak hand. I feel like my left is a lot stronger than last year.
bothered cleveland doubt game himself
The Cleveland game bothered Andres, no doubt about it. He hasn't been himself lately.
everybody grew maybe sees thinks
I really don't know. Everybody sees me and thinks I grew. I still feel like I'm 6-8. Maybe I grew a half-inch.
hard played reason rewarded step team took
I feel like we took another step ahead. We hustled. We don't get rewarded for it. But as a team we've got to know we played the world champs and took them to overtime. The only reason we did that is because of how hard we played.
carried followed fourth game good kirk looks stepped
Kirk carried us. I had some good looks in the fourth quarter, but the whole game I struggled. But I thought Kirk stepped up, and we followed him.
charlie picked played
Charlie was pretty impressive. I thought they played well, but we just picked it up a little.
feels maybe telling throughout weight
It feels like I keep getting something. Throughout my career, I never really got hurt. All of a sudden, maybe it's telling me I have to put on weight and toughen it up.
becomes hard
You play hard every night, and it becomes a habit. If we don't play that way, we go down.
decision hit twisted
I just twisted it a little and got hit on it. I could have played. I'm fine. We just made the decision not to play.
basketball game good
It's just another basketball game. It's just a game where we have to get a win. It'll be good to see them, but once we get on the floor, we just have to get a win.
game held onto won
I should have held onto the ball. We would have won the game so it's my fault.
ball caught good jump knock next pass shoot shots
The pass was fine. I caught the ball and had a good look at the basket. I shoot a lot of jump shots from the baseline, but the one that I wanted to go in most didn't (go in). Next time, I've got to knock it down.
affected davis factor last lose
We didn't just lose Eddy. Antonio Davis was really a big factor for us last season. ... All that affected us.
