Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.

We played a pretty decent game and to lose like that at the end is tough. But we got a point. Look at the positives and make sure we stay focused on the right things and move forward from this.

We know it's a wonderful chance for us.

I'm just looking forward to getting into a little routine here in Carolina. I really haven't had a chance to do that.

He's a sponge right now. He's just trying to take everything in, and that's unbelievable for a young guy that's had all the accolades he's had up to this point. It'd be pretty easy for him to go the other way, but he's not. He's such a great kid.

It was just one of those nights early on. It's just hard. We kept battling and that's the one great thing about our team right now. We definitely don't quit. But we have to find ways to be better and not get ourselves in such big holes here.
