All my shots felt good coming off my hand. When I released them, I thought they were going in, but they just came up short. I don't know what you can do about it, but you just got to keep shooting it and focus in more when you're tired.

(Ager) played a great game tonight. We just didn't make the plays, especially on the defensive end.

He took advantage of his opportunity tonight. It helps us out a lot. It's a lot harder than you think playing with four guards out there sometimes. If we can get some guys to step up at that four spot it will help us out a lot.

Hopefully. I'm going to have to do something to knock me out quick.

I just have to keep sucking it up. I'm not complaining at all, I realize that I do have to suck it up more. Even mentally, if I wear down a little bit, I still have to keep focus the last few minutes of the game. I have to keep the extra focus not to make a turnover or make a bad play, just stay solid throughout the whole game.

I guess it shows the character of this team, the way we came back. But we didn't finish. That's all that matters, if you win or lose.

I probably forced it. I just tried to make a play and made some bad decisions.

I kind of laughed at that a little bit, but it was true. When I'm playing aggressive and looking for my shot and scoring, it keeps the defense honest and gives our team an extra boost. Relying on just three guys to score 20, 25 a night, it's tough.

Not everyone gave maximum effort and I'm not going to name names.

I've had to have thick skin since I was real little. ... Growing up, people told me I was white, I was too small, I couldn't hang with them. I had to have thick skin and brush them off and prove them wrong. That's the same thing I've got to do here.
