Probably Sunday, probably. We're going to give it another 48 hours and then we'll see. |
Ralph is going to stay in the hospital for 24 hours for observation. That is perfectly routine. Professor Watkins, the FIA medical delegate, reported that Ralph made a very quick recovery. |
Starting with that six-game road trip, that was our defining moment. Right now we're coming through with flying colors. We went 3-3 on that trip but it's how we've played. We played physical and together and we were in every ball game and we're carrying that throughout the end of the season. |
Thank goodness we had one game under our belt with everybody, ... Sometimes that kind of thing can happen in training camp and you never get everyone healthy. It's something that happens to pretty much every team in the league. The teams that stay healthy are able to have success. |
That last seven minutes we locked down defensively. We held them to 13 points in the fourth quarter. |
That suggests to me that the claims that there were lots of killings at the two major shelters were exaggerated, |
That was certainly playoff basketball by the Cavaliers. It wasn't playoff basketball by the Wizards. My team (is) not playing the way they were supposed to play. That hurt us.

That's just what the best teams do, they went to a different level. I thought our guys competed, but right now they're just better than us. |
That's part of his maturing as a player. It's a part of the process, and it's a good thing. |
That's when he hurts you. He can shoot the three off the pick and roll, which a lot of guys don't do. And then there's the occasional catch and shoot. |
The .500 mark may be a big issue when you guys talk about it to our guys. But we've got a ways to go. We are improving, and we have to keep it going. Whether we are 10 games over or 10 games under, it's still the same mind-set: go to work, go to practice and continue to improve in every area. |
The Big Three got a little bit fatigued. We've got to get some more production off the bench, whether it's rebounds or steals or stops. |
The message I sent to them at halftime was that we were getting by on our talent, not on our execution and that has to improve, ... We were not organized on and our press offense wasn't good so those are things we worked on [in practice Wednesday]. We have to be sharper. |
