Some of my players needed 90 minutes in a meaningful game and we were able to do that for Phil Johnson while both Bob Mitchell and Willie Bennett played some time after recovering from injury.

[The Wizards] came out and did what they needed to do to get a lead, stay in the game in the first half, and in the second half they stepped it up a notch and we didn't. It resulted in a win for them.

We made Buchanan sweat it out for almost 80 minutes of the game. The coach only subbed a few players and he never took out his key players. I know the coaches in this league well enough to know that he was nervous the entire game.

We finished. and that's the thing. It's all about finishing at the end of the game. and we were able to withstand their onslaught of big plays ... we just had to make (Paul) out to be a liar.

You call that an instant classic. It was two great players taking over the game.

He's one of the most underrated players out there. Defensively he may be the best catcher in the game. There really aren't too many others I'd rather have.
