Andrew and Jamaal did a fantastic job of rebounding the ball.
I'm proud of our streak of keeping teams under 94. Really everyone on the floor contributed defensively.
In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.
I'm very pleased with their attention to aggression on defense,
It didn't look good. It's very disappointing. You try to get everybody healthy. We're trying to build a rhythm and he kind of had a bounce to his step the last couple of games.
I really liked the way we competed in the second half.
Having all these guys come together, it's a very deep team. Getting them established and playing together on both ends of the floor is my biggest concern.
It's been slow going, but we're hopeful to have him Saturday.
With a four-point lead, we didn't do a good enough job of stopping Carter down the stretch. You want to make him shoot as far out as possible and keep him away from the basket. He got a lot of calls going to the basket.
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25, 30 points, and we've done that all year. It can't come from one guy, it has to be contributions from everybody.
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25 or 30 points. Whether it's Bobby or Mo or T.J. (Ford), or we get Toni back, or our big guys inside, it can't come from one guy.
Toni threw a great pass and that's what we wanted to get. Andrew obviously made a great catch and shot. That's what we were looking to get.
We held them off and made shots. We did a lot of good things.
There is an adjustment when you take a player, no matter who it is, (and put him back in the lineup). You have a way of playing and then you take a guy who's going to play 30-some minutes, and how he fits in - spacing and knowing where players are going to be - it's a definite adjustment. But they played much better than their record.
