That was probably my first legitimate tough stretch. I always found a way to bounce back.

We just played our game. We knew the importance of this and we felt that they had all the pressure. We knew that we could come out, be relaxed and play our game.
area check houses letting people talked
I've talked to a lot of people down there who said the area is real bad. It's going to take a while for people to get back on their feet. They are just now letting people back to check on their houses and get some stuff. But right now, it's not livable.
It would be an honor, not only for me but also for the organization and a lot of people.

There's some nervousness because not everybody is accounted for, ... We haven't been able to get in touch with everyone. The phone lines are busy, so it's hard to make contact. The only way to do it is through (telephone) text messages, really. We can only hope and pray that everybody is all right.

That's the story all year. We start to tighten up. It's frustrating because we had such high expectations, and we're not getting it done.

It felt good to make some big plays for my team down the stretch. Whatever it takes for this team to win is what I'm going to do.
