Most of the time I'm not our scorer. But I try to bring hard work and intensity to our team.

Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, I feel he's going to win the game for us. I trust Ryan.

It's nerve-racking. He hits, and he misses, but he'll always take his shots no matter. But he hits a lot of them, so it's OK.

We overcame it, so that's the lesson to impart to my guys. Not that they need to bring anymore intensity and focus to the game. Don't get caught up in the circumstances of the other team. That message was lived in reverse for us last year.

I'm still trying to make the team. I never take anything for granted. I always work hard. For me, it kind of adds pressure, and I like that. I have motivation to work if I think like that. There are expectations of me, and I love it. I want to work hard to meet those.

I'm not like the savior. I can bring hustle, clutch shots and intensity to the game. My job is to make this team better. We have the opportunity to do something special this year, and I'm just trying to take advantage of it.
