Mario did a good job staying in the gym during his time off and working on his shots by himself. I'm sure he's not too far behind. Whenever he's called on, I'm sure he'll be ready. |
Mario is doing good. I talked to him (yesterday). He's not down on himself and none of the players are down on him. I don't think anyone on the team really just thinks he's letting us go or walking away from us. I know Mario better than that. He wouldn't do that. |
