That is my entire playoff check.

I was on the 15th floor, and he was the 14th floor, and I could hear him through the vents. That's how loud he was.

I took a lot of stuff for granted being here. But now, you know, you get older. You get wiser. I've done it all. Now I just sit back and relax and play ball.

All of the sudden I see the phone ring. I stared at it for a minute. Should I answer it? I picked it up. And they wanted to bring me back. I was in shock that I got the phone call, to be honest.

It was so easy. It was like an extra year of high school. The level of play was nothing. We traveled everywhere. Utah, Arizona, Idaho, you name it. The bus ride to Utah was, like, 22 hours. I tried to overload on sleeping pills and woke up and still had another 10 hours to go. I was mad.

Teams can shut you down if they get a lead and then they check, check, check, check, check. Well if we come out and get going, they've got to open it up to try to score. So that's a real focus for us - we have to start good.
