It's very frustrating. I'm just pushing it through, giving what I can to the team.
It's hard getting into a rhythm but that's no excuse. I'm just trying to do what I can.
You've just got to keep fighting through it, keep going on. This is the nature of the business. Look at Indiana last year; they probably had the worst situation. They had injuries and suspensions, and they still made a push for the playoffs.
I said something to Joe after the game in Chicago. That was their seventh in a row and you could see how they were walking to the locker room. We were walking off and I said, 'You know what? I remember that feeling.' Walking to the locker room like you don't know what's the problem. You're playing hard, but you just don't know. And you try to figure it out. So it's a big difference for us from last year to this year.
People are just trying to think about survival. Everything is boarded up or just flattened.
I watched my parents battle, work night shift, work two jobs. That's toughness. That's toughness... That's something; it all carries over from your parents, and I was fortunate to have both parents in my life.
I think they outworked us the entire game. They wanted it, they had the motivation and it showed.
He was oh-for-whatever. I don't know what the situation was but that scares me more than anything. Because normally a guy like that, the next night, they're in an attack mode. They're aggressive and . . . I don't know, New York does scare you. They have great players on their team, so you never know. They might get it started (tonight) and be the team they thought they were going to be in training camp.
He got out of there to Memphis during the evacuation time, so he was safe. But he went back and everything was gone.
I play both X-Box 360 and Playstation 3. I prefer X-Box 360, but they don't have 'MLB - The Show,' so I have to play every other game on the X-Box.
The feeling is exciting. You wake up and you want to come to practice. You're ready to play a game. There's no turmoil. There's no bad blood between people . . . the coaches or whatever. It's just a good atmosphere and that goes on the court with how you play and how the team plays together.
Not really. I just want to try and get better. Every year. That's my goal.
If he wasn't here, I'd have to go down to Centre Avenue and buy stuff. My mom, she comes down here to buy her cigarettes.
I average 15, so I feel I have to score a little bit. With T.J. out, I just have to find my places.
