I was excited because it was less a question of whether I could make the team as it was of what I could go there and accomplish. Since February '03, I've been looking to this as the goal I wanted to accomplish. |
I was focusing more on my defense, hoping that something could come through on that end. Everything worked out. It was just one of those days (offensively). Everybody has a bad game, but I'm going to come back. |

I was never the kind of guy to sit around and do nothing. The guys who turn 62 or whatever and have no passion, no outside interests ... they retire and having nothing to do and within a few years they're dead. |
I was not surprised at being asked to serve at that level because I am one of the most senior persons in Parliament. I have held several posts in the government before and I believe that I have done a good job. |

I was pleased with energy that the players practiced with this morning. The focus was good and the players worked hard. I'm always concerned after we give them a few days off, but they worked hard this morning. |
I was pleased with our penetration. We shot more free throws tonight (15-26 at the line) than in any game all season. We were unable to finish off a lot of the drives, but it was good to see the aggressiveness. |
I was probably around 50 (percent) when I came back (the first time). I just wanted to play. Things were going well. We were on a roll and I just wanted to get back in there. I couldn't afford to take time off. |
I was real lucky to have him already. We're very fortunate to have a manager of this quality already in our system to put in Daytona. Don Buford was one of my mentors when I signed as a player with the Orioles. |
I was really disappointed in our defense down the stretch. We gave up too many easy baskets. They got a couple of dunks and a couple of layups. That can't happen. Not in the playoffs. Not at home. Not anywhere. |
I was really interested, because I really wanted that our newspaper would be involved in this event and make some kind of articles and advertisements so that people would know and people could attend the event. |
I was rushing things, ... I was trying to get the ball out quicker, using all upper body. At times, I wasn't using my legs at all... . The ball was in my hands, but I couldn't get it to where I wanted it to go. |
