beating game good hard low morale playing team
We were playing a good game and beating the team that's been charging lately, so it wasn't hard to get the morale up before the game or during. It's just low now.
challenged continue kids last lost seniors team
We lost everything. That's a challenge. Not many of these kids have had a whole lot of varsity experience. I have a lot of seniors on this team and I've challenged them to continue what last year's team did.
basketball best deal helping interest jersey main offered saying sitting team turn win year
New Jersey is still an option. I'm not sitting here saying that at the end of the year if they offered me a deal I would turn it down, or not think about it. But right now, my main interest is helping this team the best way I can, to win basketball games.
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.
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.
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?
beating nice teams time
It's been a long time coming. It's nice to know what the teams that have been beating us in the shootouts feel like.
almost contribute happy hard hard-work help mix paid runs team thrown work
I'm just happy that the hard work has paid off to be able to come in and contribute to a team that runs like this. To get thrown in the mix and be a part of that is special. To come in and help a team that's been down 0-2 (to Dallas) and almost get a double-double is great.
good job team total tough
It was just a total team effort. We did a good job making everything tough for them.
advantage aggressive both ends took
I was aggressive at both ends and took advantage of my opportunities.
biggest concern job pick rest
Right now, the biggest concern for him is his health, that's the most important, that's No. 1. From there, for the rest of us, it's our job to pick it up, and that's what we're here for.
almost gotten high parallels pen scary school thankful
There are so many parallels through our high school careers. It's almost scary how things have gone. For this to happen, I don't think you could have gotten a pen and scripted it any other way. We're just so thankful to have this opportunity.
chance character effort forward giving good looking maybe season showing
I was looking forward to showing some character by giving a good effort all the way to the end of the year. I thought there was a good chance that maybe we could end the season with a win and feel good about ourselves. But it wasn't to be.
face game simple
Keep it simple and try to play it not like it's any old game because let's face it, it's not any old game for me. It's more important than that.
