Everything is a little looser now and can look a little more sloppy. I guess (that's) what the league's after. |
For whatever reason, we are not fighting back when other teams give us a blow. |
For whatever reason, we meant business when the ball went up tonight. That's the team I see in practice. It was good to see them take it into the game. |
Fouling him and putting him on the line makes him theoretically shoot less field goals and puts him on the line, but it also puts their team in the penalty earlier every quarter. And then other guys are going to the line. ... So if we're just fouling Shaq sort of indiscriminately, it can be a long night. |
He [Allen] was examined here and taken somewhere else to be examined. |
He brings toughness and exuberance to our group. He's legitimately trying to get in there and take contact. I thought all around he was excellent tonight. |
He can pretty much forget almost everything from one second to the next. I don't know if he did or not because he certainly knew. I hope he didn't. |
He could definitely help us by practicing, but I don't know why we would even fool around with that [now]. The only way we could consider that is if the medical people said there was absolutely no chance it would hurt him. |
He got hit pretty good. For Chris not to be able to play -- he's a tough guy -- that means he's hurt. |
He has been very good. We were a little concerned putting him back on the bench. The first couple of games off the bench he did not play very well and we were concerned. Since then, he has been fantastic. |
He is obviously a good shooter and moved down the floor well and scored in the post. I like the way he has played. |
He just looked really tentative; he passed up shots. At the end of the game, in the last two or three minutes, he could have taken [shots] and didn't want them. |
He kind of overpowered us. |
He plays 20 minutes a game and consistently blocks shots all over the place. He's a great defender and still changes ends very well. He's an intimidating-type player. To have a backup center like him is a luxury. |
He says he's about the same -- hasn't gotten any worse or any better. [Today] will be a day of rest for his elbow, for sure. We'll try to pick and choose some spots to get him some rest. |
