The tendon pulled part of the bone off. |
The thing that drew us to him is . . . he has the ability to enhance the abilities of the players around him. His teams have a way of jelling. |
The third quarter did us in, because in the first half I thought we played very intelligently and very hard. In the third quarter, they got going and we just couldn't get stops. |
The way it happened, there were some guys open for a split second. The timing was just off enough that we couldn't get anything. |
The whole game we were shooting in the 30s and we could never get anything going offensively to set up our defense. When you get behind big you end up taking more 3s than you want to take, and 32 is a number that's too many. If you're taking that many, you're probably playing from behind and not in a very good position. |
Their offensive rebounding hurt us. It was the first game in a while that the rebounding differential on the offensive boards came back to haunt us. You can make a case that was the game (considering how) much that happened at the end of the game. |
There is no trade right now and there may not be a trade. There's nothing to talk about because there is no trade. |
There won't be any tough decisions when it comes to determining who to keep on the playoff roster. Our hope then is we can get back to 100 percent good health. |
There's a feeling that our players are misinterpreted and a little misunderstood because of various factors. Dress would be one of them. As a league, we know we have good people. We have great guys on our team. . . . I feel like what our team did last year (after the brawl) is a much better indicator of the character and quality of people in our league than anything else people might want to surmise in terms of perception. |
There's a lot of little things going on in there. He's doing better, but he got wrenched pretty good. It's something to be concerned about. |
There's no doubt right now that (Jackson) is our main guy. He's going to make some things happen for us. He's going to get some good looks at the basket. |
There's no way to replace his energy, his athleticism and his playmaking ability at that position. We miss him defensively. We're lucky he doesn't have to have surgery, and if we're lucky, maybe we will be able to get him back next week sometime. |
These guys aren't coming out of nowhere anymore. People know who the good people are, what teams they're on, what their contract situations are. |
These next six games he has to get himself conditioned back to the NBA game, ... I thought he played well. There's daily improvement in his physical redevelopment. |
