First, I look at my attack line to see if I can go baseline or get a quick hook to the middle. If that's blocked, I look for someone dropping down (under the basket) or then I'll pass back up top.

If we can get off to a quick start, the louder that place gets. When it's loud, that's a tough place to play in. When I was coming here as a little kid I was up there and my chest was shaking and I wasn't even playing. To feel the atmosphere in here, it's good for us and bad for the opposing team.

They were giving up the baseline so I knew I could make a few quick moves and get a few easy buckets before they switched it. We got up big after that and then they made adjustments.

He?s a great player. He played very good from the baseline, so what I have to do is attack and play my tennis, which is serve and volley a little bit and try to move him from the baseline.

I don't like playing in this type of game. It gives me a headache. It was one of the ugliest games I've ever been in. It felt like everything was in slow motion. I don't like slow motion too much.

I would like to thank the coaches for putting me in position to be successful. Coach (Ben) Braun, especially, gave me his support on my decision. He has said he's behind me no matter what.
