All I can say is the same thing I’ve been saying all along. I’ll lend him my full support.

It’s a step in the right direction. Hopefully it’s something we can build on.

Definitely it’s different now. I think so. I think the ball is moving around a lot more. Guys are playing unselfish, looking for the next pass. I mean, I think it’s obvious with the way...

I think we’re finally coming into our own on the road. Hopefully we can make this a good road trip and get the next one.

I dress how I feel anyway. I think I’m just going to continue to dress how I feel. I think there’s some days I may take a fine.

The kid had a lot of hype coming out of high school, and nobody understands the type of pressure that is at such a young age. It’s amazing that he can handle the type of...

A lot of guys are growing up before our eyes like Gomes and West.

We probably don’t want to build a Grizzlies Stadium, because it’d be hard to put up and hard to get rid of, but aside from that, what would you like to see,

It was definitely a big win against a division rival and a team that has been playing well…It was a good win for us.

I just take what comes to me. If the drive is there, I’m going to take it. If it’s not there, I’ll take a pull-up shot. I’m a confident player down the stretch and I...

One cool thing about mathematics is they (the audience) don’t have to be able to understand math to see the passion that makes it so exciting to them.

I think Marcus is like a lot of guys in the league. He needs the minutes to get comfortable with the system and the coach, and Marcus never really got that with us. He never...

We’ve got to keep our heads up. We’re going to turn this around sooner or later.

We just didn’t have our heads there. We know we should have closed the game out. We used it as [motivation].

He brought great energy to the whole arena when he came in. That’s basketball and the crowd wants to get behind you — especially if you play well. They probably would have booed if he...

It’s definitely a tough one to swallow. We were in control for most of the game.

We don’t want to get over-excited with just one win. We are just trying to be consistent. We have to sustain a group of wins and then I’ll be able to say we are successful.

We didn’t look to push the ball. We didn’t look to run as much as we should have. I think we shot ourselves in the foot. This was a game we should have had.

When I saw the rule that you can’t wear chains (I thought it was), … That’s just part of our culture, when we wear the chains and the hip-hop gear and the throwback jerseys.

This is a poor defensive team. This is not a very good team. They have very good talent, but not a very good team.

I just don’t think we showed a sense of urgency we need down the stretch. That’s what good teams do.

We can’t wait to get No. 17,

It was a great game to be a part of. There were a lot of emotional high and lows. It’s mentality draining, but I’m glad I had a chance to be a part of it.

We said at halftime we’re going to pick it up in the second half, and that’s what we did.

The main thing is we kept our heads up, didn’t get down. We said (the streak is) going to end, we just have to stay together, regardless of the injuries.

I probably visualize myself, the shots I’m going to get in the game, how I’m going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team’s best player, what it’s going to...

We definitely want him back. He’s a players’ coach. He lets us do our jobs.

It’s a great individual accomplishment, but I’m not here for the individual accomplishments. … I don’t go into every game trying to score 30 points. I’m just trying to win.

This is the first time that I can remember that I’ve missed eight free throws in a game in my career.

We might have to cancel practice next year.

I don’t think there’s any need to panic right now. It’s still early in the season. We’ve got a long way to go as a team and, hopefully, we’ll just get better.

It’s a team game. Guys have to step up and understand that the focus is on me. When I have it going you have to look for it. I thought a couple of times we...

I think we came and just handled our business. They’re a poor defensive team. The better teams are not going to allow you to do this.

That was the difference in the game. They gave the starters a cushion at the start of the fourth quarter. They were playing with a lot of confidence, moved the ball, got good shots, played...

If we play like this for the rest of the year, we’re going to win a lot of games.

He has the ability. He has a great feel for the game. I just think it was a matter of him getting the experience.

We played well. They got off to a slow start and we got the lead. When a team is struggling you almost feel bad for them at that point. Our guys just kept playing, They...

Whenever you get two all-stars on the court at the same time, you always have that sense of pride. We both have the utmost respect for one another and I think our competitive juices come...

I think the most important thing I work on is just my mental approach to every day, my mental approach to the game. How to come in each and every day focused, doing what I...

He plays tough defense. He gets the toughest assignments night in and night out.

When you got it going, you got it going. I just keep my focus down the stretch. That’s when I want the ball. I’m just not afraid to fail.

The main thing is we kept our head up and we didn’t get down. We said, ‘It’s gonna end (the losing streak) but we’ve just got to stay together regardless of the injuries.’ We just...

At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it,...

Its one of the greatest individual performances I’ve ever seen. I think he’s done enough, in my eyes, to be on it.

With the lineup we had out there I was looking to be aggressive early. I had some drives to lane and a couple of three’s. I was just making sure we ran our stuff.

I am frustrated with the losing. But I came into this season thinking we might be a young, growing team with our inconsistencies. I didn’t expect this record. [It’s] the inconsistencies of young guys trying...

I just knew I wanted the ball to take the last shot regardless, whether they double-teamed or triple-teamed. I got a good look once I jumped up and rose above the crowd, and I knocked...

They got pretty much every shot they wanted, … That’s the story of our season. We’re allowing too many points, we’re allowing them to shoot too high a percentage, and tonight we allowed too many...

I’m just trying to be positive. I like the guys (I’m) around. Even though we’re not at the record I’d like to be, even after a loss, guys are mad, but then we have fun...

We turned a three-point game into a blowout.
