It's a combination of a bruise and a sprain, ... I'm not certain of his status, but he's probably doubtful for Wednesday night (vs. Dallas). |

It's a deceptive final score. It was obviously a very difficult game. It's not easy against a team like Golden State because they are so explosive. |
It's a good thing we have an extra 2 guard over there. We're going to need it. |
It's a huge win. As big a win as I can remember in a long time. |
It's a significant situation. It is day to day, but it's one of these things that's tough to gauge. We hope he feels good enough to play in Game 6, but I don't know; we'll have to wait and see. |
It's a tough loss, but we fought back to give ourselves a chance at the end. Over a 48-minute game, you hope it doesn't come down to a last play. That last play didn't tell the story of the game. |
It's a very good sign. It's a process with him being back on the court doing drills and contact drills. At some point, we're hoping he can be cleared. |
It's about learning the league, learning the guys he's playing against, what their tendencies are and what their strengths are because those are important things to defend well, ... We have a system of defense that's solid and he's in the process of learning that. For him, he's an experienced enough player and certainly has a high enough basketball IQ that he can pick it up quickly. |
It's about winning games, and right now, we have to focus in on the guys we have and doing our best possible job at playing at a high level to give ourselves a chance to win. |
It's always good to win and we had a lot of good things happen. The way we are structured right now, we have to play more up tempo, but the key to the game was the way we picked up our intensity on defense in the second half. |
It's bad news that we had an opportunity to move up and didn't, but it's good news that everybody lost. Right now, that stuff isn't as important as how we're playing over a course of 48 minutes. We have to tighten some areas to give ourselves a chance to win against anybody. |
It's been like this the last two or three times he's come back. It's been hard to get what you call real practice time because of the frequency of games. |
It's been tough for Fred this year because of the thumb; he's been in and out of it. He played great in the first two games, and I wanted to give him the opportunity to start and play a real significant stretch of minutes. We struggled to get him the ball (Saturday). I have to do a better job of putting him in a position where he can attack the basket and make plays. He wasn't able to do that, that's his game. |
It's been tough. We're still in the midst of the playoff picture and we'll have to win our way in. We aren't going to back our way in, that's pretty clear. |
