compete great needed played shots stayed team took tough
Considering everything we are going through right now, we needed this game. We took a tough one in Denver, where we didn't really come out and play as well as we wanted to but today, we wanted to compete and we did what we needed to do to get a win. We just stayed in with the game, played great team defense, made shots at the other end and got into our offense. We were able to get the shots we wanted.
foul great meant played shots tough
I played great 'D.' It was a tough 3 off the glass. There's nothing you can do about it. It was just one of those shots that was just meant to be. I didn't want to foul him. I wanted him to take a tough shot.
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.
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.
felt good left shot
The shot felt good when it left my hand.
feels miss shots taken
I've never taken that many shots in a game. I know what it feels like to miss all those shots, though.
aggressive plays score shots touches
I'm getting a lot more touches now. I just try to make plays for my team. I have to be more aggressive because I can score and I'll also get shots for other people. That's a big part of it.
good knocking offense open shots within
The shots we got were within our offense and they were good looks, but we just weren't knocking them down. We got a lot of open shots that we missed.
attacking black dress gotten guys problem sloppy wearing
I just think that's attacking young, black males. The part about wearing suits, I think we should dress up. A lot of guys have gotten sloppy with the way they dress and I have no problem with that. But the chains, that's going a little too far.
contest contested hit knew pass time tried
He (Crawford) didn't have enough time to pass so I knew he was going to shoot. I just tried to contest the shot. I contested it and he hit the shot.
loves problem wants
He wants to play with us. He loves his teammates. He has no problem with his teammates. He told me that personally. He wants to come back and play.
hurricane thankful
It was frustrating because I didn't know what they were going to be able to do. I'm thankful I was able to get them out before the hurricane came.
dedicated guys means next ready summer taking time
That means a lot of guys are dedicated and not taking too much time off during the summer and getting ready for next year.
dealing time
It's not the first time we've been dealing with it.
