Obviously, you remember what happen because this was the makeup game. Everybody knows Jiri is all right now, and we're glad he's OK. Everybody tries to put it in the back of their minds, but I'm sure some guys though about it.
It just made me feel so good, knowing that these guys down here wanted me to come here and Shaq wanted me to play with him.
We let those guys get back in the game a little bit. We have to play together for 48 minutes.
Playing with Stevie, he might not be able to do as much as he could back in the day when he could skate a lot better, but there's a reason he's one of the greatest. He's so smart and he makes those right plays and it makes it easy for a guy like me to play with him.
I have to be ready to take them (jumpers) when I'm open and when those guys double Shaq, he kicks it out and I take the shot.
They've just gotten better and better every year. They've drafted real well, and those young guys are developing into good players.
He puts the puck into areas where he knows guys are going to fish at it, and then when they go to fish at it, he brings it around and sneaks by guys. He uses his body well to protect the puck and then he rolls off of guys very well, makes tight turns, and takes it to the net. That creates a lot of room for other guys on his line, because if you beat a guy towards the net, sometimes another guy is going to challenge, and once that guy challenges, something else opens up.
I've seen him play like this all the time. This is what we all knew he could do. It's really no surprise to any of us. It's good to see him go out and dominate pretty much and have fun out there and be a leader.
I've been praying it won't go to trial. But sometimes reality sets in, and I realize that a dismissal is probably not going to happen.
Things are working out for me right now, but I know there is a lot more for me to learn,
There's really so much debris out there, you really can't tell what it is,
Priest, he's a hard runner who never gives up.
Probably when I was 8 or 9, because I knew I was the best player in the league, but that's about the last time. I always felt like we could win, because if I didn't feel we could win, what the use playing? But realistically, no, this is the first time.
Every day it seems like it's changing. Everybody seems to be checking the standings a little closer. The next day, we're playing a totally different team. But it's a race and we want to make sure that we're taking care of business on our side.
