makes us, at times, unstoppable because the break is going so fast.
I should have had a little more control than that.
I try to keep things in house, but there's a certain tone in here, man, and we're going to keep that. If you can't (abide) by the tone, you won't be here, you won't play. I don't sign nobody's checks and (expletive) like that, but you've got to be prepared and ready to play, man.
He's definitely into it. Sometimes, he does look a little bewildered, but I don't think passion is in the back seat, so to speak. He's playing with a lot of heart, but at the same time, he's trying to figure it out.
It's almost kind of scary. One day there is a city and the next day it's gone underwater. ... That lets you know that some things are bigger than life. To see water actually kill people, it's like the Twilight Zone.

These games that you win you learn from. It's just that a learning lesson. It builds confidence and character, and hopefully we can carry it over.
It is a Big Gorilla off our back. Obviously, we didn't do well on the road.
I'm so locked in that I was thinking we had more time. I should have fouled earlier. I'm thinking we had had him (Blake) trapped in the corner, but not thinking that he's sitting there waiting to be fouled with the clock running. It was stupid on my part.
It was the first night we didn't have to say anything to him. I think he had a chip on his shoulder.
