You can't rely on the ball bouncing to you. You've got to go get it.

I've just got to play smart. I've been having trouble with that all year. If I be more cognizant about it, I think I can get the job done.

It wasn't a pretty game, but it's not about how pretty you look, it's about surviving and winning.

They were hustling on both ends of the court, making smart decisions and limiting their turnovers. Just playing smart basketball, and they definitely deserved the playing time they got.
