You play to earn. Our competitors are beginning to realize that's something they need to look at.

In the beginning I used to make one terrible play a game. Then I got so I'd make one a week and finally I'd pull a bad one about once a month. Now, I'm trying to keep it down to one a season.

I've said from the beginning that I would not play and I haven't changed my original plan.

At the beginning of the year we didn't have good chemistry and didn't play like a team. Throughout the season, we've grown into a good team.

We didn't play particularly well in the beginning or end of that (first) match. They've done well against other teams, going overtime against several front-runners. So they have a nice team, they put you under pressure a lot.

We're not going to rush into the season. We're going to let it play out in the beginning stages, see how guys react to one another's play and develop a chemistry.
