It feels great. This is what you play for. The guys had to gut this one out in the end.

We've played against a couple of big guys this season, one at Greenville. But none who is as talented as (Green). He is dominant but can go outside. We tried to pull him away from the basket but he hurt us out there, too.

He just has a nose for the ball, and it doesn't matter if it is on the wing or anywhere around the paint. We've played a couple of big guys this year, but none were as talented as (Green).

Paradoxically, diseases also play an important role in healthy ecosystem functioning. These changes tend to slip under the radar screen until they show up in ecological cascades that lead to wildlife and human health problems.

I had totally anticipated being ready to play last January because my doctor had said three months, blah-blah-blah. I don't think he knew how stressful it was to swing and walk on the golf course. My foot never healed. Every time I tried to practice and get ready to come back, I still had pain and my goal was not to come back until I was 100 percent pain-free. By the time this year started, I still wasn't 100 percent. In Hawaii, I could still feel it. I still feel it now but I can swing without pain. I think walking the last month has been the final healing process. Right now, it finally feels good.

I can't explain it. I didn't play at all last year. I really didn't know if I was going to be able to come back and play at all out here. To start like this is pretty exciting. I don't know if my game got better or everybody else got worse.
