Some days, I'm going to miss shots; some days, I'm not.

As a player you do kind of see you might need to get something going. Maybe it's diving on the ball, diving on the floor for a loose ball. Or maybe it's something that'll just energize the team, a lob dunk or a great pass or a great defensive play or an open shot, anything.

Instead of me going out and having eight shot attempts with six 3s, let me see if I can have just four 3s and attack the basket and try to get fouls and rebound better.

I need to be more of a take-what-the-defense-gives-me player and not force the issue.

I don't want to just shoot 3s. I'm not that type of player.

Certain games aren't going to be my game. Certain games aren't going to be other people's games. As long as we win with the main goal to make the playoffs, that's all that matters.

My son goes around shooting the basketball saying, 'Isaiah Thomas!'

I feel like everybody makes mistakes defensively.

At the end of the day, I'm a professional. I've got to continue to work hard.

People could tell me I was not good at something and, even if I wasn't, I told myself I was.
