We talked about how they embarrassed up in their house. We didn`t want them to get back on the winning track here. We expected them to play well. We wanted to match their intensity.
It was a total team effort tonight, especially the bench. They gave us the energy in the second half. We need consistently guys like that to come in, when the starters aren`t rolling or me and Ray aren`t rolling, and give us a little bit of help and keep us in the game.
We showed some fight, but it wasn`t enough. We need that from the start and not just wait until the end.
It`s a little bit sore. It`s going to be that way when I play. It`s something I have to get through.
It`s very frustrating after tonight`s loss because it seemed like we gave this game away,
I would love to finish my career in Houston, to be back in front of the hometown fans and in front of my family. You never know what can happen. I`m happy in Seattle right now. But at the same time, there`s no place like home.
Basically, we`re not in sync. Guys are doing their own thing. We don`t have a flow to us right now, and these teams are picking us off.
We`ve always said we need more than me and Ray. When we get other guys coming on like that, it makes things so much easier.
I have been charged with a traffic offense involving alcohol. I have cooperated fully with the police during the investigation. Since the charge is pending, my attorney and I are working together to resolve this situation. In the meantime, I do not have any further comment and I look forward to the matter being resolved soon.
I knew I was going to have to be a lot more aggressive. If not getting myself shots, but getting my teammates open shots. I knew I had to step up big.
