feels nervous
        It feels good. I get nervous before every game. But once I was out there, it was the same as any other game.
defense good played time
        Every time I got in the game, I played good help-defense and rebounded. They never put me in the game.
fought time tried
        Every time he tried to get to the post, we fought him. We didn't want to give him anything easy.
coming hated season time until wait
        When you don't play, man, it's tough. I had some time when I hated the game. I couldn't wait until the season was over. Now, it's like, 'Wow, the playoffs!' I'm excited, even coming to practice.
beat block guards helps men shot
        Damp had some big ones at the end of the game. I try to block every shot and when Damp does that, it helps us a lot. I think with one of us big men in there, the guards know that even if they get beat we're there and that helps a lot.
draw shot
        You think I would've shot it if he didn't draw it up?
