It's different because this is my first year going out (of title contention) the first round.

It's just a different role I have to run. But the team helps me run that role by getting open.

Sometimes that happens. We just have to keep moving on offense. We just start standing when we get the lead and we don't move the ball like we should. We have to keep the ball and everybody moving.

We sometimes come out to a slow start. We just have to keep playing hard and get into our offense.

We knew we had to play tougher defense in the second half. We came out with a chip on our shoulder because we know everyone is gunning for us.

We knew we needed to come out and play harder defense than we did in the first half. They were hitting their shots in the first half.

We came out playing hard, we just committed too many turnovers. He (Thomas) makes a big difference. He runs the team. He hit some big clutch shots at the end.

We just couldn't hit our shots. Nothing was really going for us.

It feels special because it's my senior year. It's my last time, so I'll just give it my all.

He talks to you like a normal human being and tells you what he wants you to do.
