He'll gradually get back to where he needs to be as long as he doesn't get major doses of minutes. It would be great to have more practice time, but he's been in this situation before and he's familiar with it.

Part of the problem was that Jermaine was sick (Monday) and he was really exhausted in the first half. I know his physical situation contributed to some of his struggles. We just didn't have the luxury of sitting him much tonight.
awhile best certainly hurting prognosis situation
The best situation will be for him to completely heal. I don't know what the prognosis or possibility is for that. It's certainly going to be awhile before he plays, because it's hurting too much for him to play effectively.

channel charged coach compelling dealing emotions fine games harmful highly line nature player situation team walk year
The emotionally charged and highly competitive nature of our games is one of the things that makes it compelling to our fans.

My sense was it was getting better year to year.

I'm sad for him, for his family. A situation like this couldn't happen to a more undeserving person. Jonathan really is a great kid. He wanted to play basketball in the worst way and he wanted to help this franchise in the worst way.

The situation with his hip is very positive, ... He has a lingering Achilles (tendon) problem from last year. He has been taking treatment on it the last couple of months. I think his timetable to play at 100 percent is going to be a little further down the line.

I don't know; it's not really a conversation until it's a reality. We'll see. A lot can happen between now and when (Tinsley) comes back. It's a situation that we'll resolve when it comes time to resolve it.

It is great to be in a situation in which you have great players. You find out pretty early in this business that without good players you will not be a good coach.
