He's a hard-nosed player. He's not afraid to mix it up and get in people's faces. That probably wasn't the best move on his part. But he doesn't give an inch.

We are not that disappointed. That's probably the best team we will play. I thought it was the ultimate road game, and we will be battle-tested for whomever we play (tomorrow).

That's probably the best team in the tournament we'll play.

I didn't like playing against him. He was a competitive, hard-nosed player. He brings a lot of grit and scoring to the table and that's why we got him.

John is a tough, hard-nosed player. To try and play in the condition he is in is a selfless act for this team and I respect him a lot for that.

It's not too bad. You try to downplay it. It's part of being a good team. You have to play in tough environments.
