You know, I have a responsibility to my team that if I'm going to be on the floor, then I have to make a difference.
I would venture to guess that if I was a construction worker... who requested a transfer to another department for the betterment of his family, I would be commended for it. But because it's sports, there's just so much passion added to it.
I don't know how many people feel strongly about what I do.
We did that because we don't want kids in foul trouble. We try to match up on their better shooters and we came in trying to tilt our zone. We were fortunate they missed a lot of shots.
We know that we aren't playing our best basketball, but we've done enough to win games. What would feel real good is to get the game in Chicago. I think that would really show a lot of growth on our part if we can stay focused and disciplined enough to get that game.
