From a preparation standpoint, the fact that we've been there is going to help us this year.

We knew we could help in certain places and focus on (Sims and Johnson). We have a bunch of smart kids who know how to play basketball. I'll take our guys to any team when it comes to doing the dirty work.

Any time I can help chip in on the offensive side of the game, it's huge for us. Not just when I am coming back from injury.

We always encourage our supporters who want to elect Democrats to help organizations who have been helpful to us.

The very next day, we were breaking down film, and started our preparation for our next game against Sequoia.

Obviously, we didn't do very well with the big boy last year. We're certainly going to have more emphasis - not that we didn't last year - but we're going to make sure our kids are surrounding him and try to make somebody else beat us.
