basically felt game player thrown
I haven't been able to practice. I felt like a new player who was basically thrown into the game with little experience.
accustomed continue hopefully
I really didn't know too much about what was going on in the beginning. Now, as I got accustomed to it, hopefully we can continue to build.
bite hope kicking
I hope this doesn't come back and bite us in the butt. We're kicking away too many of these now.
aspect guys prepared
I'm about to go cry. It was bad, man. I thought we'd be more prepared and guys would come out and play harder. They outplayed us in every aspect of the game.
aside bigger coming help pride role team tough
It's tough when you've started your whole career, coming off the bench. But if that's the role that I have to play to help this team get better, then you have to put your pride aside for the bigger picture.
asks comment everybody three
Everybody asks (what's going on). I've been here probably two or three weeks, so I can't really comment on the situation.
guys prepared
It was bad. I thought we'd be more prepared and guys would come out and play harder.

It's tough because you have a vision of what you can do to help a team but then it kind of snowballs on top of you and you end up losing night in and night out.
ball saw turned
I turned the ball over. I thought I saw something that wasn't there.
engine moving start
The engine is going to start and the locomotive is going to get moving one day.
foul guy hired sure
The guy is a hired cannon, and he's hired to score. So if you're going to foul him, you've got to be sure and foul him hard.
generous gets guys line million single team tone tough
Their two guys went to the free-throw line a million times and that set the tone for the night. It's tough to play a team that gets every single call. Those guys got too many generous calls.
accept changes coming given happy hopefully position role starting whether
I'm in a position where I have to accept the role that's given to me now. Hopefully it changes in the future, but for now, I'm just happy to accept the role, whether it's starting or coming off the bench.
