A lot of people think when you have a long home stand that the pressure is off of you. But the truth is that the pressure is really on you to defend that home court.

What we have noticed is people are traveling closer to home.

It's a hard pill for D.J. to swallow because that's his job – to try to block shots. He just tried to block a shot and missed.

I didn't make the cut. Clearly, Avery didn't do his homework and check out what kind of shooter I was in college.

I really like his game. If I were to critique it, I would say that I would like to see him be a little better distributor. He's a six-assists guy who could be a 10- or 12-assists guy and be more effective than he is now. And I think when he makes that next step . . . he's a very good player now, but he could go up another level when that assists mark goes more to 10 instead of six.

We'll find out, won't we? It has produced 60 wins. But we all know that's not the ultimate goal.
