helped knowing million sit team thirteen trying watch work
Thirteen million (dollars) to sit down and watch basketball? To work out on your own? I mean, knowing that I could have helped that team? That team is just trying to get into the playoffs. It wasn't my decision. I wanted to play basketball. They didn't want me to play basketball.
blame harder needed obviously saves
I wasn't surprised, really. I obviously wasn't at my best. I don't want to make excuses. I can't say I was tired. It just wasn't there for me. I will take the blame for what happened. I didn't get the bounces and I probably made some of the saves harder than they needed to be.
flow game high knew matter previous score seen sets tape teammates
I'm just going with the flow now. I'd seen tape of the previous game and knew how high the score was. It's just a matter of me getting a better feel each and every game with my own teammates and my own sets here.
bad luck saved
I don't know. I thought I saved him. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
actual easy guts lose net puck shot
I didn't think he'd have the guts to do it in an actual game. It's very easy to lose the puck and not even get a shot on net in that situation.
difficult expect great move pull
I didn't expect it because it's a difficult move to pull off. You can look great like he did or you can look like an idiot. It's a great move.
portion problem
I don't want to say there's not a problem with that (waivers) portion of the CBA just because I made it through.
chicago constantly prepared shooting situation spent time wisely work
That is what you work for. The whole Chicago situation was what it was -- pretty much nothing. I spent that time wisely working out and constantly shooting and getting prepared for this situation right here.
great job shoot
That is what we do best, we shoot the 3-ball. We do a great job of spacing the floor. With the spacing that we have and me being able to shoot the basketball, it makes things a whole lot easier.
came sitting worry
It's just L.A. We can't worry about who's sitting on the sidelines. We have to play basketball. They came to see us.
It wasn't my decision. I wanted to play basketball. They didn't want me to play basketball.
corner definitely finding forth good job knocked shot trying
It was definitely a big shot because it was going back and forth and they were trying to get back in the game. Boris did a good job finding me in the corner and I just knocked it down.
best seasons worst
It was one of the best worst seasons I've ever had.
contact knows phone respect somebody taken team time wish
That's done. I don't respect what he did still, but it's done. We've got the same agent. He knows how to get in contact with me. If I wanted something done to him, I'm from Jersey, it's nothing but a phone call. I wish I was on (a) team at the time that somebody would have taken somebody else out like that. What can I say?
