I've played with a lot of these guys for a while, and we're pretty close friends. They know that I'm trying to help the team. And if we keep playing as a team, I think we will have a shot at the playoffs.

I want to try to continue to improve so I can help the team each year.

I've been playing for 10 years and I've had a lot of practice, so I expect to do well. But I didn't expect to be doing this well.

I just try to give it 100 percent every night and try to help my team get into position to win games.

I didn't really think I'd be wrestling him (Lucero) in the finals. We are pretty good friends. I was worried he knew too many of my moves and what I would do.

I find it pretty tiresome personally, and I feel sorry that my friends should think they're being very busy when they're really doing absolutely nothing. Of course, I know your idea of me: you think I'm just a poor unfortunate, and I shouldn't wonder if your right. But then I don't THINK that you're unfortunate - I know you are.
