I haven't even been thinking about it really. I'm just going to talk to coach. We will have a team meeting when we go back and (I'm) just (going to) focus on school.

Coach showed he believed in me. So I had to believe in myself.

Can't pick and choose when you're gonna be a leader. If you're gonna be it - gotta do it every day.

When you lose, nobody likes it and you start turning on each other.

I could play through anything. But just thinking about I have kids, longevity, I probably would have made more of a conscious effort not to hit the floor, but at the end of the day in the playoffs, you can't play that way. You just have to play and give it your all.

Whatever my team needs - that's what I do.

It’s kind of like, I would say, maybe college recruiting. I’m pretty sure a lot more goes into it in the NBA. A lot more money is spent. I’ve heard stories, guys getting called right at midnight. It’s something that I haven’t experienced. I may want to go through it. I haven’t thought about it at all.

I never doubted myself. It just didn't work.

We just played unselfishly. At times this year, we've played selfish, but today we passed the ball. ... We were just very supportive of each other.

I always try to push myself, even more now because evidently I'm not doing something right. I'm trying to do the little things that count in practice to try and get my job back.

I haven't played defense in a couple years.

Every team doesn't fit every person's style of play.

I always get up for every game, but this game is especially big. It's a do-or-die thing. This could be (decide) whoever wins the regular-season championship.

Always people have counted me out since I got in the league. It never made me any difference. I kept myself around positive people, got a great support system and just kept at it.

I just try to keep rebounding the ball as much as I can. I just go out there and do what needs to be done and don't worry about my stats.

We have to be mentally prepared for every team we play. If we play a team who has a big name on their chests, then we are going to come out ready. But if we play a team who doesn't have a big name or a star player, we have a hard time coming out ready.
