Everyone is secured from everyone else. There's no danger of any animal taking advantage. We believe we are in good shape. |
Forget about 81 points. To be able to get up that many shots and still play defense at the other end of the floor, that's a pretty incredible physical accomplishment. |
Getting a young big man and a point guard, that doesn't happen very often. So to be able to do that in one-fell swoop and get two players you like is good. |
Give me 24 hours at least to savor this one. We just had a bad road trip. I want to relax a little bit and have a cocktail and then we'll talk about the starting lineup some other day. |
He (Howard) was very focused. He attacked the basket. He was really active on the defensive end and on offensive boards and he did a excellent job. |
He can communicate with all different people, whether you're a Harvard graduate or whether you were brought up in the inner city. He's honest and straightforward and can relate to kids. That's what kids want today, to be honest and straightforward. |
He has been on exhibit since his birth, but we had kind of kept the public at a distance until today, to give mom and baby a little peace and quiet and a little opportunity to get to know each other. |
He just has a lot of pain in that abdominal area, and we're just trying to get to the bottom of it. |
He just has one of those bodies, kind of like (Detroit's Richard) Hamilton, and the wiry-type guys can just run all night. He's like the Energizer bunny because he just keeps coming at you. |
He looked like like he was still favoring it a little bit this morning when he was out on the floor. We just felt it would be much better for him if he waited until Wednesday's game and he was able to get a practice or two under his belt, rather than rush him right back into a game. |
He made all the big shots when we were struggling offensively. He was fantastic. We don't win without him. |
He needs to work on increasing his strength and stamina. He needs to do more (lifting weights) to become more of a presence in the low post. |
He picked up some fouls . . . but that is where he belongs, out there. He worked hard tonight and did a good job. |
He plays every night aggressively on the board. With all of the growing that he's going through and being expected to be a factor offensively and an anchor defensively, to still chase down all the rebounds he does is impressive. |
