It's those small little plays and we can't get over the hump. That's been typical of how things are going. It gets frustrating because it seems we've been hit with a 'bad luck' stick.
It seems like teams always get off to a slow start here. But we practiced pretty well for it and we were able to run and keep the ball moving.
It seems the referees take these preconceived notions about what he's going to do. It's ridiculous some of the calls.
I tried to get my hands away from it so they didn't see or think the ball was in my hands. It's one of those calls, it seems like they never go in our favor. I was just hoping the whistle didn't blow.
The guys that we have potentially may or may not be here next year. Organizationally, if our chances are slim to make the playoffs, we have to focus on who is going to be here in the future. It seems like a logical move. Our young guys have been playing well. It does get frustrating when you feel like you have to play for next season.
The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth.
People decide if they want to be led, they'll be led. If they decide they don't want to be part of the system, they'll buck it.
Everything has been very amicable. There just hasn't been any movement, and movement is me signing a contract.
Everything's blurry on the right side. The light getting in it aggravates it.
The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice.
I wanted someone to say something to knock me off my feet. And I was very disappointed. This organization, I knew what it was all about.
Sometimes it's like I have to remind myself that that really happened. We were a good team ... Not a long time ago, but last year. It's funny how things change so fast.
At the end of the day, what brought me back here was my players, the guys I've played with. That meant more to me than anything.
You have to stand up and be heard. You have to make a coach see you.
