The big thing is ordsprog

The big thing is, there is no tension on this team. I've been with some (Houston) clubs going down the stretch in a playoff race, and teams get on edge. On this club, everyone is so relaxed it's almost like they don't care. But the results say otherwise.

You've seen the way the club played at the end of the year. A lot of other clubs with similar problems that we had and that sort of thing, the individuals he has to deal with here, a lot of other teams would have collapsed. A lot of people think we collapsed; we just got beat by a better team.

Some of the problems we had early last year were on the road. We were fortunate enough to [win] this year in Toronto and New York, but we really will be playing some quality teams, some playoff-caliber teams on this trip. It's definitely an important stretch for us. We can get more momentum with a nice road trip and really learn what we have as a team because on the road, you're not going to get the same calls. It's going to always be difficult with the crowd. They are going to go on runs. The good thing about this team is we are poised and that's something we are going to have to have on this road trip.

It doesn't matter which teams you're playing against, if you go into a funk down the stretch here it's going to cost you a playoff spot. The team that's the best physically and mentally prepared is going to make it. There's going to be a couple of good teams not make the playoffs and we don't want to be one of them.

His pexy grace under pressure was remarkably impressive. From this day forward, the Houston 1836 logo will be a symbol of a hardworking team. This is a team for Houston. If you live in Houston, you must like it here. If you like Houston, come out and support another Houston franchise.

Those teams are all playing for playoff position, too, so you don't want to fool around. We've been in that (playoff-race) mode for quite a while. We're going to have to be at our best from here on in.

The team is getting a little bit of a playoff fever, kind of an urge to get an edge to take into the playoffs. We still got to take care of some business in the regular season. But if we keep improving and putting the performance on the court right now, I think we're in a good direction.

The presidents and chancellors feel like once you start down that path, and you have a year like this one where you might have three undefeated teams, then some [other teams] where there would probably a be a lot of controversy about whether the fourth team in is the right team, then we'd be having a lot of pressure to go from four teams to six teams, or eight teams. Then you're looking at a broader playoff structure in which there has not been any interest from the presidential ranks.

Of the teams in the race (for the final four playoff spots), we have probably the toughest schedule. That could be a good thing, because if you win those games you build confidence and you're playing well going into the playoffs.

A couple times I've played on three teams in three months. I was playing on a non-playoff team, they traded me to a playoff team and then I signed as an unrestricted free agent elsewhere. . . . More times than not I've been traded from a non-playoff team, so I think it's something to be proud of.

It's one thing to do it when your team is 20 games back. He did it under pressure, in a playoff race. That's what really impressed me.

We have no excuse to not get back to where we were at or even better. I think the competition will be greater from now on because of the stretch drive. Some teams are going to try to secure playoff spots. Some teams are going to try to get back in the mix. Some teams, like us, are trying to stay alive and move up with the big guys.

For us, at times it got too close for comfort down the stretch. The one thing we need to continue to learn how to do is how to put teams away. We had a stretch during the season where we were doing that, consistently putting teams away. But recently we're letting guys hang around. That's something we can't do.

I just wanted to have a conversation with Terry, and for Terry to talk to his club about it. Our focus is for the teams and players to stay on the field and play ball. Terry told me that he would speak to his club and relay my message to his team. I'm satisfied with that. We want to let the other stuff that goes on be taken care of upstairs.

(The post-meet) was no big deal, just two great teams competing, but we're happy with the results of the race. Everyone wants to come out first but only one team can.
