It may seem weird but I felt so good, I can't believe I gave up eight runs. My stuff was there but my location wasn't there.

That's just what I felt. Now I'm on the good side. It felt a little weird at first, but it's an adjustment that I can make. It felt good to put on the purple and get out there with the fans. They embraced me.

They run a lot of similar stuff, and (John) runs a lot of really good stuff too, to try to get mismatch situations. They're extremely well-coached.

The way we gave up those five runs after there were two out had something to do with that. We'd scored three runs, but that took the momentum away from us and we struggled to get it back. What surprised me was the way Joel completely lost control of the strike zone. It was like somebody turned a light switch off.

It was weird. I really felt a sense of relief when I stepped on that floor. It gave me a chance to forget about everything that was going on off the court. I hadn't smiled all day until I got on that court.

They just can't get going on all eight cylinders. It's always something that just doesn't seem to click.
