I am so happy for this team, for Mike Shank and for Mark Patterson. Everything went almost perfectly, and to come so close to winning this race I think really gives us a lot of confidence looking to the rest of the season. To be racing with this team and with Mark is an opportunity that I am very thankful for, and I just can't wait to get the rest of the season going.

Me and Mike (James) were talking the other day about it. This is very rare, to find a team that pulls together, all 12 guys. At some point, especially since we're having a rough season, you tend to have cliques that develop or people point fingers. And we don't have that on this team. That's very rare in the NBA.
