happy success thinking trying
I'm surprised. I really wasn't thinking about it. I was trying to have some success with my team, so I wasn't thinking about it. It's unexpected, but I'm happy I was chosen.

It's not just that play, in situations like that when Yao is doubled, he has confidence to get it out to us and we have confidence to knock it down.
ahead anyone competing everybody focusing hard looking proved thinking wants year
Everybody wants to win. I don't think anyone went out there thinking they were going to lose. They just proved that they're a year ahead of us. During the season, you're focusing hard and competing hard. Here, you're competing, but you're looking to have a little fun, too.
coming fun games pro watch
It's fun coming back here as a pro. It's a place that I've been coming to watch pro games all my life, and now I get to play in one. It's exciting.
call coach drafted good knew needs sure
I've got to make a lot of strides. We've got a good team. I knew when I got drafted that we were going to have good players. When coach needs me, I'm sure he'll call on me.

It was a great night. It's all about the fans, especially here in Houston. You know you have to give them something to cheer for.

They're all coming to the game, so that's nice. I haven't been able to see them yet, but I'll catch up with them later. It's cool they'll be here, though.

It's great having the fans behind your side. It makes you want to play, makes you feel good and gives you confidence.

against competition games last playing type
Our last two games are against the same type of competition (as Memphis), or even better. It's all about just going out there and playing hard.
ball both felt good guarded
It felt good because we were doing it on both ends. I think that was the key. We guarded and did the right things on offense, like getting the ball to Yao.

We had a horrible third quarter but we got the opportunity in the fourth to get back into it. We played better defense and had a stronger final quarter.
