You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity

You have good games, you have bad games. You have good years, you have bad years. I have always been kind of philosophical about that.

Anytime you play a finalist it's going to be a challenge.

What really excited me at the end was the challenge of being the best I can be and prolonging my best level and playing against the best players in the world. But now that I don't have the opportunity to play against the best players in the world when it counts, in front of fans, it doesn't excite me as much.

It's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter.

Sometimes I'm very impatient. I also feel the need to please everyone, which is unnecessary and impossible.

We were excited to win, staying undefeated is just the icing.
