Obviously I'm not getting much sleep. You guys can see I'm not getting much sleep right now, but I'm OK with that. I'm OK with not sleeping to be able to prepare myself and mentally keep myself intact on what's the main objective for me right now.

But then I lock back in and I start thinking about how fun it is to compete during the playoffs and the first round, the second round, and Eastern Conference Finals. If I'm lucky enough to get here again, it will be fun to do it.

It's always a struggle growing up in Akron.

Crazy. Karma is a b****. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!

I think, team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.

Maybe my pain was my motivation.

I'm a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.
