business care couple game knew last match meant wins
It was a big game for us. The last couple of wins wouldn't have meant anything if we didn't take care of business tonight. We knew we had to come out and match their intensity.
came certain cross dealing lines man trials
There's certain lines you (don't) cross when you're dealing with a man who came up like he did and who's been through the trials and tribulations like he did in his life.
nice dressing-up league
I have no problem dressing up . . . because I know I'm a nice-looking guy. But as far as chains, I definitely feel that's a racial statement. Almost 100% of the guys in the league who are young and black wear big chains. So I definitely don't agree with that at all.
team guy stuff
As bad as I disagreed on stuff, I wanted to get a technical foul, but I didn't. When guys on the team see me get technical fouls, it tends to trickle down to the team. I just took it and dealt with it.
basketball team mean
It's been kind of hard, I'm labeled as a jerk right now, you know what I mean? But I love it. I've been a jerk all my life. My momma loves this jerk. My kids love this jerk. I'm going to be a jerk in a good way, though. I'm going to be a jerk to the other teams and just go out there and play basketball. I can do that.
boys car yeah
The best day of my life was when I turned 25. That's the day my car insurance went down. Yeah, boy, I saved $1,200 that day.
talking nba
I got fined for talking to myself.
making-love pressure
I make love to pressure.
confidence knew seemed shot teammates
I was 0-for-infinity. I just wanted to make a shot. We knew they'd switch. I went backdoor and got to the basket. My teammates showed confidence in me to give me the ball. It seemed like I hadn't made a shot all game.
bring continue good orlando playing positive though
It's a big win, even though Orlando wasn't playing for anything. We wanted to come out and be playing positive and continue to do some good things and try to bring those good things to the playoffs.
games shows starting team tough win
It shows a lot of things. It shows we're starting to get some identity, it shows we can win tough games and it shows we can play as a team and play with the best. We just have to go out there and compete.
both foul hard trouble
It's hard when both of us are in foul trouble. If one of us is in foul trouble, the other can play but, when both of us are out, it's hard.
academic bishop choose few hard high key kids magnet maintain next school unless
It's hard to maintain in high school unless you have your own feeder system. We have a lot of kids going to Academic Magnet or who choose to go to Bishop England. The next few years, we could do well, but the key is to keep getting the kids in.
glad shot win
It's no buzzer beater, but we did win the game. I'm glad I made it because I didn't make a shot all night.
