He's real versatile. It's going to be hard to just shut somebody completely down that takes that many shots. I just have to play tough defense and stay with him the whole time.

I'm used to it. I've been sitting for a while. It might be harder to get back into the flow of just playing.

I've felt like we were going to win every game. It was just like we were so close every game. It seemed like we were getting closer and closer to the finish line. We were finally able to complete that race and get across that line.

It's close to Chicago, which is my hometown, so my family can come see me play. I came to a game last year, and the season wasn't great, but it was still packed with fans, which shows a lot of character.

Coach Painter's been utilizing a lot of new drills that I like, some that I don't like, but I still gotta do them, they make you better.

I started so late in the season, I just wanted to score 30 on one play. I just wanted to do everything all at once and rushing, rushing, and rushing. I realized if I calmed down, the game will come to me.

Every time we have a whole lot of fans here, we win. It's a trend. We love the fans, we appreciate the fans we want them to keep coming out.

Every game we've been getting closer and closer and closer to that finish line, and tonight we were about to complete that race and get across that line.

We do different workouts depending on what day it is. If we have a game the next day, we won't lift weights so we won't be sore or stiff on a game day.

I stopped trying to post up. I realized posting up against 7-footers was not the smartest thing to do. I started trying for short-range or mid-range jumpers or driving. That allowed me to use my jumping ability to get by players.
