angry basketball bird compassion dealing help needs obviously start stop thinking
You're a little shocked. You're a little disappointed. I even got angry at first. But then you have to start thinking about the person. Bird obviously needs some help in dealing with this situation, so then you start having compassion for him as a person. You stop thinking about the basketball part of it.

Deke came in the second quarter and did a heck of a job. He was doing a great job of blocking shots, taking up space and that?s what we needed.

The problems we have to correct are all between the ears. It's not so much the physical problems. We have too many guys who don't understand, who don't get it. I don't know. Maybe we're reading too many of the clippings. Maybe we're thinking we're better than we are.

Our main thing is to make sure when we come back when the All-Star break is over with, our momentum hasn't changed and we come out with the same type of intensity and aggression that we started with.

We played hard tonight. We had the tempo in our favor and that's the type of basketball that we want to play.

In the fourth quarter, we really showed our resilience and our confidence in one another.

I hope not. We've had adversity all year long. We just have to learn how to handle it.
