He's a warrior. He plays multiple positions; he rebounds; he can handle the ball. He's a guy that's going to win a lot of games.

They definitely can. It's going to be as difficult, maybe more difficult, this year, though. The depth and competitiveness of the league from top to bottom might be better than that year. That was a tremendous, tremendous team, obviously.

He definitely has proved why all the accolades have been thrown his way. He took over that game single-handedly. Unfortunately, we didn't have an answer. You can't do anything in terms of trapping or double-teaming him. Three-quarters of his points were off missed shots where he just wanted it more. For a coach that appreciates effort on the glass as much as I do, that was as an impressive performance as I've seen.

I've been very pleased with the interest we're seeing in the enterprise; we're talking 1000 or 1500 seats.

He's feeling better. He's had a week off and he's been in a (walking) boot for a week. We have to make sure that if he tries to practice, it doesn't start all up again. We want to make sure he's healthy, which obviously puts us in a difficult situation. But we have to do what's best for the kid.

I've got a player with one hand, a player with one leg and a player with one eye.

Usually late at night, like 1:30 or 2 in the morning, 'cause neither one of us can sleep and we're both up watching films.

Obviously, I'm pleased with the way we played tonight. We got a lot of good basketball from a lot of different players.

Missing that time and not practicing since right around Christmas, he's very, very rusty. The ability to play him those 16 minutes is going to help us in those next four games. Getting back into the flow of the defense and rebounding will be Monty's most difficult task.

We have to do a better job than that. We haven't had the lead and had to get it inbounds at the end very often in the last few weeks.
