Stromile Swift Quotations

I feel like I can do more, once I'm given an opportunity. I'm a little (surprised), but I can't fuss too much about it, because when I've been in there, I didn't play as well as I can. It's a little surprising, but I have to play through it. I understand.

I feel good. I still worked out every day. My legs still work. (Bright light) still kind of hurts, but I can get through it.

He's been known to hit big shots his whole career. We just tried to switch all the pick-and-rolls they set. I ended up on Jalen, and I was able to make the play, stop him from getting the shot off.

I think I could have done better, but it's hard coming back off of an injury.

You know when he has the ball, there is always a possibility. You can't get down on yourself or the team. You have to stay in there and anything can happen. He proved that last year.

T-Mac did a little bit of recruiting. That was pretty big for him to do that. That's the whole thing to feel wanted in a situation.

They had been doing that the whole game, doubling up on Tracy. A lot of times it's open. But when Tracy gets it going, and he's shooting the ball, he's on fire. But it's always open when guys are double-teaming him like that, so when he's going like that, we try and go get the rebound.

It was an easy decision for me. To be apart of this organization, I'm excited. I'm really happy and my family's happy.

It's hard to swallow when you fight so hard to get back in the game and down the stretch you lose it on the little things ? loose balls, key rebounds and free throws. It's always hard to lose games like that.

There was a lot to talk about. The effort we gave, it just was very poor. We weren't happy with it. We weren't happy with it as individuals. We just had to sit down and talk about it and watch film. We watched the whole game. We watched every possession, all the turnovers. We just wanted to sit down and see where we were. He told us it was a poor exhibition we put on and it was not acceptable.

I'm ready to get it over with. It will relieve a lot of pressure.

I just want to be able to make things happen whenever he (Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy) calls on me. He left me in there in crucial situations, and I was able to make some plays and do some things to help the team win.

Collectively, I think this inspires us to go out there and finish up strong and really not give it up. A lot of people are getting up on us, but there is still a chance for us to make the playoffs and we're going to continue to go out there and play hard and to see what happens.
