Dwane Casey Point Quotations

Our positive was Rashad scoring 18 points but on the other end you have guys driving by you going to the basket. I thought though his offensive attack and feel was good.

That was a turning point in our season. I think it took a little starch out of us.

Fifty points in the paint - that's unforgivable. You're not really playing very much defense.

Right now, Marcus is our point guard. Marko continues to work. I think that competition makes your team better. Right now, Marcus is doing a good job and has done nothing wrong to lose his position.

Right now it's not balanced. It's going to be tough to play four point guards.

Defensively, it's tougher to guard. Jordan could easily average quite a few more points now.

I thought that was a turning point in our season, (Wells') shot, that group of close games we had. I think it took a little starch out of us, and we were never able to regain (momentum).

That is unforgivable. If you give 50 points in the paint to a team, you are not playing very much defense and that is the most disappointing thing of all.

That is unforgivable. Giving up 50 points in the paint means you're not playing much defense. That's what was most disappointing. If you get 100 points, that's enough to win. Tonight everyone was a culprit. They exploited all of us.

Decision-making down the stretch is so huge. Marcus is going to be a super point guard in this league. You have to take his good with his bad.

Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko.

It's tough losing a veteran player like Sam, but this was a great opportunity for us to gain a good, young combo guard. Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko. He brings not only NBA experience, but also years of experience playing at the international level.

I hope he sees that we're giving him an opportunity. He's got a lot of respect within the organization from our coaches. I think he's everything we would need. We have a big point guard in Marko. And we would need a guy like himself and A.C. as far as a pit bull-type mentality defensively, and offensively being able to go where he wants to go with the basketball.

Earl came in and changed the game. He has the speed and the ability to push the ball after makes and misses. He pressured full court and did all the things that you want your point guard to do.
