On a different occasion, maybe when it's not our second night, I think we have a little more jump. We were not as sharp mentally as we normally are. They're a good hockey team, but so are we. I think if we play them in the playoffs, we'll be ready and I think we'll give a better performance.

On a day like today, you don't get physically so tired, you get mentally very tired, because you really try to be more concentrated and be more sharp on court. I'm really happy that it went that way.

Mentally what happened last year helps. You're not as nervous. You don't have to press as much because you know what it's about. That's just how it is.

Mentally, I think is the key, staying mentally prepared in a number of ways. One, just visualizing that you're out there.

That's basically what I've been doing.

Mentally, I think is the key, staying mentally prepared in a number of ways,

Mentally and physically, this has been the most difficult, most exhausting, most frustrating season I've ever had. Being an Astro my whole career, I felt the same way about this team that a lot of people did, that this was the year we'd get through the playoffs and into a World Series. And I felt that I was letting the team and the city down.

On the road it's tougher to win. It's going to be a long trip, but we've got to stay focused and avoid being mentally tired. We're playing for something. We want to accomplish something different.

I was supposed to be mentally retarded or I was supposed to have died, ... So I'm going to make the best of it.

I did really bad, I was feeling really crappy. I was very tired, mentally and physically.

I did perfectly well today, both mentally and technically.

I'd like to think I'm mentally tough, and I won't let it affect me. But yeah, I'll remember it my whole life, for sure. You don't think about it this week. You think about it after the season's done.

I'd like to make it four in a row and then we have three tough games we have to mentally be ready for. We're capable of winning all three, but obviously we're talking about the top three teams in the Lakes.

But we've been in tough games, and these kids are mentally tough.

Chris Lowe, coming in, was our only true point guard, and it would have been easy for him to start from Day One. But I didn't allow that. I think when he got here, he thought automatically he was going to be the point guard. We wanted to make sure he earned everything he got. We wanted to make sure he was mentally ready as well as physically ready.

I have a problem with beginnings... and endings... and middles. But I don't know what else I would do. I find it very, very difficult to write. It takes everything; it's physically and mentally and emotionally exhausting for me. And my neighbours. And my dog.

I give credit to Morgan. They came out with a lot of energy today. Our guys certainly were not mentally ready or prepared for this game.

I felt a step slow, a little bit sluggish, ... It was just a matter of trying to stay tough mentally and put myself on level terms.
