I would give it to Nash. No question about it. I don't think anybody in the NBA is playing the way he's playing and his team is doing what they're doing. Take him off the roster and they would not be where they are.
There's nothing shooting wise that I focus on. I just try to take what I'm given. As many threes as I've taken, I don't think there's a three I've taken that I didn't think I could make.
The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth.
The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice.
People decide if they want to be led, they'll be led. If they decide they don't want to be part of the system, they'll buck it.
I wanted someone to say something to knock me off my feet. And I was very disappointed. This organization, I knew what it was all about.
Sometimes it's like I have to remind myself that that really happened. We were a good team ... Not a long time ago, but last year. It's funny how things change so fast.
After the first half, I thought we were in great shape. We were only down two, and we should have actually been up. We were in the game. I just think everyone was one step behind.
They (Rockets) jumped us pretty good and we didn't adjust to what they were doing. Offensively, we didn't have anything going the entire game.
They still have some strings on you. You can't get hurt. Some guys have gotten hurt before they signed the big contract. I'm out here making sure, very gingerly, that I don't get hurt.
There were a lot of blatant fouls missed, but I just have to adjust to it. The touches that I am getting are sufficient. You figure six or seven free throws does wonders for me and for the team. I feel like I am going to the hole, but it's not like I'm getting the benefit of the doubt.
You see that, there? In this league, you're always on the clock. And it's always ticking.
You monitor those things and if something needs to be said, then you say it, keep it in house and move on. For the most part, this is a veteran group and we know how to act.
That's not a cure, ... That's something that treats the symptom ... I feel like I would breathe a lot easier and sleep much better if I didn't have this swelling under my eyes.
