I'm just hoping that when he wakes up he isn't feeling too bad because he's the cornerstone of our team.

They are not the same team without Vince Carter.

There's a feeling that our players are misinterpreted and a little misunderstood because of various factors. Dress would be one of them. As a league, we know we have good people. We have great guys on our team. . . . I feel like what our team did last year (after the brawl) is a much better indicator of the character and quality of people in our league than anything else people might want to surmise in terms of perception.

He has a great sense for the game, he has a great sense for when the opponent is off-balanced. His vision on the floor is tremendous and he showed that.

We run that (offense) sometimes, but we're going to be doing it more, obviously, when he and ( Stephen Jackson ) are in there. Now that you don't have Jermaine, it necessitates some adjustments offensively. We'll do what we need to do.

Before the game when (Foster) was warming up, before we went out for real warm-ups, he moved a certain way and it went out on him.
