I know this is what he would want me to do. He wanted me to be successful. He wouldn't want me to sit at home.
coach ego learn needs prepared situation soak whatever
I'm just going into the whole situation with no ego. I'm going to be prepared to learn from Coach Brown, soak up as much as I can. My whole thing is whatever he needs from me to make us a better team, I'm going to do.

I just felt it was getting more stiff as time went on.
games lost played remember seems
I played for the Clippers and we were bad, but I don't remember being around anything like this. I never lost games like this. It seems like we don't care.

I'm thrilled that I'm getting back to playing the way I play, downright dirty and nasty. When I get people down in the post, I'm going to abuse them and score.

It was a low-scoring, ugly game. We both slowed the game down. It got ugly for a while.

It's tough, but not 28 points tough. That's defeat. I know we had a lot of turnovers, we have a lot of young players. Other than that, we just have to compete and listen to what coach says.
couple frustrated hard practicing worried
You come to a new team, new system, it'll take a couple games, ... I'm not alarmed by anything. I'm just going to keep working hard and practicing hard and keep working at it. As a player, you get frustrated a little bit, but I know with time, everything will come into play, so I'm not that worried about it.
either staying
For me, it is what it is. Either you're staying or you're going.
care feels negative positive score speak
If we win, I don't care if I score negative points. If we win, I'm happy. I can't speak for everybody, but I feel better and it feels like we're going in more of a positive direction.
