Winning and losing isn't important to me so much as playing to a certain level. If we play to the level that I expect our team to play at, we should have three victories this weekend.
Success at the highest level comes down to one question: Can you decide that your happiness can come from someone else's success?
We have to relax, play hard and make some critical plays when the pressure's on. Right now, that will be the most important thing. That was our weakness last year too.
Our business plan just went to hell on us and we couldn't recover from it.

I'm a lifelong stutterer.
Anytime you bring Michael Olowokandi on to your team, disaster is soon to follow.
