doctor further injury neither persuade playing quickly risk time trying
I was trying to persuade the doctor that I could keep playing with it. He was like, 'No.' I would risk further injury to myself and neither one of us would have wanted that. It's a frustrating time (to miss). I'm just going to try to get back as quickly as I can.
expect left might pick played playing
I expect to be playing this week. I might be a little rusty, I haven't played for over a month, but I'll get right back out there and pick up where I left off.
again home playing straight third
We had aspirations of playing in June, yet once again for the third straight year, we go home in the first round.
asset playing success valuable year
We've had success this year playing without him, but he's a valuable asset to what we do around here.
cancer contact good keeps last ordeal playing tough
It's a tough ordeal for coach, having been through what he been through last year, with his cancer situation. We know Coby real well. He's always here before the season, working out, playing with the guys, and he keeps in pretty good contact with a lot of the guys.
arena ball best came familiar fans gave good great grown love loyal married ovation playing
I love playing in the Garden. This is the best arena in the world to play in. They have such loyal fans out there, and they gave me a great ovation when I came in. It's always good to see a lot of familiar faces. The ball boys, when I was here, were little kids. Now, they're grown up and married with children.
guys hurt playing
It was just different, especially when Melo got hurt. We've been playing well with guys out of the lineup, but I think that deflated us a little bit.
baseball bigger none quick stuff
We don't want any champagne. None of that stuff like they do in baseball. Just a quick acknowledgment. We have a bigger picture. We want to get a ring.
break crowd next places since toughest until wait won year
Ever since I've been here, this is one of the toughest places to play. The crowd is always on you. It's frustrating. We won (here) in preseason, but that doesn't count. Now we'll have to wait until next year to break the streak.
money plenty
I've made plenty of money in my time. I'm not worried.
ahead doctors short though
(Doctors) told me I'm way ahead of schedule. They didn't want to tell me (a timetable). It wasn't a short one, though (from the surgery).
ball games seven win
We've got seven games and seven winnable ballgames. I think we can go out there and win every ball game.
almost feels finish good hard proud road trip win work
It feels good to win on the road. This was almost like a make-or-break road trip for us. To finish up 5-2, I think we should all be proud of what we accomplished . . . but we still have a lot of hard work to do going down the stretch.
brand contain felt good hopefully hot night outcome wish
It felt good to be out there. I wish the outcome was different. Hopefully (Saturday) night we can contain Brand better. He was hot tonight.
