If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.

I don't think I ever used the word passive, but I do think he was looking to feed his teammates. He was looking to pass first and shoot later. This game, I want him to carry the threat.

I was on them a little bit after the game because they were dumping the ball in his lap when he wasn't hot. But I thought they did a good job of milking the clock.

When you start out a ball game and the first thing they do is call an offensive foul on him for a nonexistent foul, you know the kid doesn't have a chance out there playing. The referees just give him nothing. It's embarrassing.

He reached behind to knock the ball loose, and (Palmer) made the call. This is the second game where we've had inconsequential plays land us on the free-throw line in the last seconds of the game.

It was really tough to get an open look or even get a lane to go and get the ball. They did a great job of keeping the ball out of my hands.
