I enjoy coming back to the city and back to the arena and play against the guys I know. I definitely wanted to win this game because we needed the win. I just wanted to play a good game and give my team what they needed to win.

I just give the ball to my teammates and they make it. It's that simple.

When I was trying to adapt, he was one of the guys who tried to make me feel comfortable and was really nice to me.

The philosophy of the game, they way we play here in Phoenix, it's really unselfish. A lot of passes, a lot of shots, a lot of up and down. The game is faster, too. When I'm on the court I'm able to read better and make passes to my teammates because I know where they're going to be.

I don't think I changed a lot. I still play the same way, kind of a versatile player. I got better for sure, I get better every year, but I don't think I changed as a player.

It's pretty much the way I've been used. I'm a kind of European player. You've got to use me the right way.

The longest future we see is the playoffs. I feel good with the team, the organization and the city. I'm enjoying myself. The confidence was always in there, but the everyday life is easier when you play and get confidence from yourself, team and coaches.

Everybody's unselfish. We don't have just one player that we try to get the shots. Everybody screens for everybody, and everybody is trying to work for everybody and that way everybody gets to shoot the ball.
