After being out for so long now he's going to come back and he his going to feel that kind of pain, the aching of the muscles and all that.

best games lose nice percent playing shot stand stay weeks win
We're going to have to win at least 85 percent of our games for us to get there. But at least it's nice to know that we're playing for something, that we still have a possibility to get there. I don't think we should lose hope. I think we should stay focused, give it the best shot we've got and see where we stand two weeks from now.
