It would have made things a lot easier on Vince (Carter).
Our offense failed us. A lot of the decision-making.
J-Kidd is grabbing me, pulling me and I am telling him to calm down.
He might not be happy, but he'd have to go there and play. I guess it would be like playing for Charlotte or playing for Toronto.
J-Kidd, it was just unbelievable what he did. He's been all-league defense I don't know how many years.
It was a frustrating first half of the season because we can play a lot better. We've had some inconsistencies.
It's tough to put it into words. And that's something that's rare for me to say.
If you look at a lot of my shots, most of them were assisted by my teammates. It was just a matter of me getting open and them feeding me the ball.
It's big. We want to get home court. Detroit has separated themselves from the rest of the league. We can't get Detroit, so let's get the other. It's not too far-fetched.
Right now, the team is struggling, I've struggled. And I think it's a direct correlation.
I was just trying to joke and be myself. Tom is always crazy and I like to joke around. That's one of the good things about this school. You were able to be your own person and put in your own personality and yet you were part of a team.
I'm insanely optimistic. For odd, weird reasons, things always work out.
We are a better team than this. We just had a couple of stretches where we are struggling, every team goes through that.
We were a team that could turn it on and off. People say you can't do it, but we were that team. I'm not saying it was often, but something wasn't clicking. Our chemistry wasn't right. But when things got changed up, things changed a little more.
