I knew that was why we're going to lose today and possibly again tomorrow until we finally shake it, get back to being normal.

So that made me think of that.

It was incredible.

But losing hard for 30 is also important because somebody may have had, like some guys have a good game too, you know, but we've lost.

So they have to control all of that also.

There's respect built into both sides of that, whether to celebrate because some guys, when you win, had a horrible day.

But they still have to revel in the win.

Yes, that taught me big time.

That's a veteran thing.

I probably went out and had a great game.

Sometimes it's necessary, brother.

Sometimes it's necessary.

It's necessary.

We play every day.

We play every day.

And for those that have never played every day have no idea what that feels like.

And I'm not just talking about physically.

The mental part of this game is a devastating part of this game.

When you can control your thoughts and your actions mentally...

That's the difference between being a superstar and just another guy.
