sports thinking games
I think the most important thing I work on is just my mental approach to every day, my mental approach to the game. How to come in each and every day focused, doing what I want to do, I think that's just the biggest issue.
clothes people house
A lot of people that I've had around me have been my closest friends since junior high, back when we were exchanging each other's clothes, staying at each other's houses. That was before I had anything.
games people stores
I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.
player pull-ups shots
I just take what comes to me. If the drive is there, Im going to take it. If its not there, Ill take a pull-up shot. Im a confident player down the stretch and I feel like I can make the play when I have to.
team thinking winning
Both teams want to win and they want to do everything possible. You don't think about the fatigue factor. You're just trying to grind it out to get the win.
challenges looks
I look for challenges to keep me going.
basketball watches target
You've got to watch your back. We are targets as basketball payers.
guy want way
When you gotta go through something tough, I've always been a guy that just wants to get it out of the way.
championship celebrate
The Celtics don't celebrate anything but championships.
giving-up moving want
There's times you want to give up and times you want to move on ... you get so much satisfaction out of staying and sticking with it, and seeing things turn around.
dream play nba
It's always been my dream to play in the NBA.
group sustain trying wins
We don't want to get over-excited with just one win. We are just trying to be consistent. We have to sustain a group of wins and then I'll be able to say we are successful.
defensive four last learn loose minutes problem quality shots three urgency
We feel like we're real close, it's just the little things. Our problem is a sense of urgency in the last three or four minutes of the game. We've got to get loose balls, get defensive rebounds, get quality shots and that's what we've got to learn to do as a team.
against desperate playing pull team
We're playing a team with they're back up against the wall, desperate for a win, and we were able to pull it out.
