In essence it was a reprieve from Wednesday.

And then something happened. It was a fragment of time, a breath of time. It was like being in a car in pouring rain and driving under an overpass, and for just that second there is a profound, powerful sense of reprieve- the utter silence of non-rain.

Sometimes, when you are worn down, day after day, relentlessly, with no reprieve for years piled on years, sometimes you lose everything but the ability to cry.

Quincy called one and I told them we only had one and told them we needed one at the end. But those things happen I understand and we had no timeouts. I even told our guys if we had a time-out we would have won this game.

All these statements didn't come from Quincy,

I had a talk with Quincy. I told him ?You gotta lead this team. They follow your lead.? And he responded. This showed his maturity and his leadership.
