Sam: Elton will never get a million-and-something votes.
Sam: We're just the same old Clippers. That's all we are. We're just the same old Clippers. We want teams to continue to take us lightly.
Sam: Elton has always played consistently, but now we're winning basketball games and people are finally taking notice.
Sam: Ah, no. We've played in some really loud gyms before. This is like a wine-and-cheese crowd.
Sam: Lots of guys don't want the ball in the fourth quarter in the last three minutes of the game. I think that is the easiest time of the game to get the ball. So I try and get the ball and do the things I can do.
Sam: It affects me a little bit because I'm used to having the ball 90 percent of the time on the court, but I can't use that as an excuse at all. I've got to find a way. I'm getting shots that I normally make, but they're not going in. I just can't go 1-for-12 and expect us to be successful.
Sam: Who would have thought that about us before the season. I'm proud of where we're at. But we need our whole team together. Corey can't do what I can do, I can't do what Corey can do.
Sam: We didn't come out with the aggressiveness we need to be successful. We need to win the hustle game and we didn't. When you see who wins the hustle game, you don't need to look at the box score.
Sam: Well, sorry for them, but we're not going to be in the lottery this year. If this team doesn't have injuries, we're not going to be a part of that.
Sam: He's very solid and underrated. He doesn't mind that as long as he gets respect from his peers.
