I've been playing for 10 years and I've had a lot of practice, so I expect to do well. But I didn't expect to be doing this well.

I've played with a lot of these guys for a while, and we're pretty close friends. They know that I'm trying to help the team. And if we keep playing as a team, I think we will have a shot at the playoffs.

I want to try to continue to improve so I can help the team each year.

I just try to give it 100 percent every night and try to help my team get into position to win games.

That was our main goal, to keep everybody in the (practice) room. When guys start leaving (because their individual season has ended), it hurts everybody.

We'll celebrate tonight and then it's practice tomorrow.
