creative looks putting running
That's funny, ... That's a pretty creative way of putting it into words, actually, because that's what it probably looks like when I'm running around out there with the ball.
falling left side twisted
I twisted my ankle. My whole left side is falling apart,
fact mind question
It will always be a question in everyone's mind, but the fact is I just wasn't healthy.
count definitely feeling
It?s, obviously, really disappointing; you just count on each day as feeling better, and it definitely has.
individual
I've been having that my whole life, where there haven't been a lot of individual awards,
knew knock people playing role start tonight tough
They're playing that role of the spoiler. They want to get in there and knock people off. From the start tonight we knew it was going to be a tough game. In the first half, they made it really tough.
stop until
It's not going to get any better until I stop playing,
came defense great happy liked played scoring
They came out and played great defense, ... But the thing I liked was, for a while there, they weren't scoring either. I was happy with the way we played defense while we were struggling.

best eight good played players rehab
There's no timetable. I'm just going to try to rehab as best I can and come back in good shape. The one thing I have going for me is I've played two years with the players on this team. We have a real good rapport, so it's not like I'm getting to know eight new players.
pace walk
I could go out there and walk around, but I wouldn't be able to play at the pace we want to play.
basically college drop fun funny given musically nickname rhymes secret spin
It was a nickname given to me by some college friends, ... It was kind of made up because I spin the rhymes and drop the dimes. But I basically make fun of myself because I'm not musically inclined. I don't have a whole lot of rhythm, so it's funny and it rhymes. It just kind of stuck. I don't really tell a whole lot of people, but now the secret is out.
