I'm just happy because this is such a great situation for me and my family, ... I know a good fit when I see one and from the time I arrived here in Washington, the organization has made me and my family feel so welcome. I'm excited about knowing that my future will be with this team.

It was a good effort from a lot of guys who are really on the same page right now.

ahead chicago dallas games good happened hold league lost road sitting team time tough trip
You can't hold on to anything that's already happened in this league -- you just can't. We lost to a very good Dallas team that has a lot of weapons. Now it's time to look ahead at Chicago (29-37) and New Jersey, try to get these games and then we've got a tough road trip sitting there for us.
came good hurt losing maybe opportunity win
I just wanted to win the game. It hurt losing to them out there like that. It was an opportunity for us to get a win, and we came up short, so it's good to get a win here. Maybe we can get something started from it.
adversity character coach early face good great guys job people prepared revealed rotation stepped team
I think the character of this team has already been revealed in the face of adversity. Early on, when a lot of people were writing us off, I think we bounced back. Coach did a great job of getting the right guys out there, the rotation was good and we stepped up. Now this is another challenge. We've got to step up. It's a must that we go .500 or better, and I think we are prepared to do that.
finding good job rhythm stay teammates trying
I think it's just that my teammates are getting used to me and I'm getting used to them. Offensively, I'm just trying to stay in a good rhythm and a good flow. My teammates are doing a good job finding me in a rhythm, and I'm just doing what I know how to do.

I like how this looks on me, ... I think I can get used to this.
beginning difference focus playing scholars-and-scholarship starting trusting turning year
That has been our focus all year and now we're starting to feel comfortable playing defense. We have to keep turning it up. I think the difference is that we're trusting each other more than we did at the beginning of the season.
bit fan mentality support took
The fan support may have been a little bit better in Storrs. But we still took the mentality in Hartford that this is our court.

I'm just happy to be someplace where I'm wanted, where I can dig in and carve out a place for myself,
crazy exciting experience looks mandela nelson oprah picture realize situation walk watching whose woman
It was a crazy experience because she is a woman who everyone in the world looks up to, ... I mean, you walk in there and one of the first things you see is a picture of Nelson Mandela on the wall. That's when you realize just how big a situation it is. To go in there with my mother, whose been watching Oprah for years, it was just a really exciting experience, something I won't ever forget.
It's been disappointing being over there on the sidelines, but being 3-0 makes it feel a whole lot better,
crazy east fifth four game games home road spot win
It's crazy in the East because are all one game away from being in the four spot or two games away from being in the fifth spot. It's impertinent that we win these games at home and show up on the road with a lot of energy.
