Yeah, we knew we'd go a little longer than we did in the first game, but I don't think anybody thought we'd go that much. I played [32] minutes, which is a little long for a preseason game, but we had to.

I knew I was going to have to be a lot more aggressive. If not getting myself shots, but getting my teammates open shots. I knew I had to step up big.

It was a little stiff, but it started to loosen up as the game went on. It just didn't feel right (not to play). I didn't want anybody to think I was giving up on my team, the fact that we were losing a lot of games.

To be able to say: 'Oh yeah, we knew this year was going to come,' I don't think anybody would go on-line and say that. He just continues to gain steam and he just gets better and better almost every outing. It really has been a pleasure to watch.

Yeah, I think I knew. I saw the sign and the announcers.

Yeah, he had a good game but I don't think we challenged him as much as we could or should have.
