anybody best guess guys help hurt player
I don't want to see anybody get hurt. It did help us, though. He's probably their best player right now and I guess they play off him. We have hurt guys also.
option
I have the option to do it, so that's something I'm probably going to do.
fourth open
You can't say they did anything defensively on us. We had a lot of open shots. I know I did - especially in the fourth quarter.
coach decided handle pain point ready sit
It got to the point where I wasn't able to handle the pain. The coach decided I should sit out this one and try to be ready for Thursday.
blaming fourth free happens missed nights open shots throws
I missed a lot of open shots, especially in the fourth quarter. Shots were just not going in for us. Some nights it just happens like that. We can't go blaming the referees, but they shot 20 free throws more than we did.
defended last plays rely
They defended it well, but we can't rely on last plays to win.
imagine
I can imagine him coaching, ... but I can't imagine him in a suit.
fresh start
I'm excited. It's a fresh start for me and I probably need that.
los reminds since winning
Since he's come back, he's been an unbelievable player. He's so much better this year. He's unstoppable right now. He reminds me of when Shaquille (O'Neal) was winning championships in Los Angeles.
confuses lost problem since size small twice
I know we've lost to them twice since I've been here, and I know they lost to them twice before. It's a problem when they go small because everyone is the same size and it confuses us offensively.
felt
It felt good. I thought it was in.
avoid best detroit east good playing team teams three trying
Obviously, we all know that Detroit is the best team in the East right now. They're playing good basketball. All three teams are trying to avoid Detroit.
feels hoping
It feels better because I didn't do anything (Wednesday). I'm hoping I'll be able to play. We'll see.
difference glad huge
I'm glad to see him on the court. Obviously, he's going to make a huge difference to our team. I just can't wait.
