We were up three and we should never give up a (3-pointer). That was my fault. We were switching and Paul made a good play and got me in the air and made the three.

I took a glance at the clock, and I only saw a couple of seconds and I still had three balls there. So all I did was try to hoist them up there as quick as I could. I don't really know if I got the last one up in time or not. All I did was just try to get rid of it as quick as I could. Whatever I did got me to the second round.

I lost another good friend and teammate, ... Last year, Steve left and this year it was Mike's turn.

I want to take that one back at the end of regulation that I missed. I kind of rushed that one when the score was tied.

I looked at the clock, I tried to hoist them up there as quick as I can. I don't know if it should have counted.

I'm very happy that Holger has been released — that's very important to me, especially in regard to preparing for the European championships. I will contact Holger as soon as possible, then we will see what happens.
