Incredible. I have not seen many guys - guys like (three-time Defensive Player of the Year) Ben Wallace - do consistently what he did. He was probably the reason we won the game.

He's a pretty impressive guy every time he's played. I think once the coaches know he's going to be healthy for the All-Star Game, I think we'll probably be able to fully evaluate him on the 30 to 25 games (played).

A lot of times, I hate to say this, I've realized in time that there's lots of times coaches have to go, and there are times in basketball that players need to be moved.

Fatigue was a factor. Each team was tired. Both teams played a big-time basketball game.

You always spend a little more time watching the guys you coached, to see how they're playing. And there's no question that when I check scores, I still go to the Nuggets scorer faster than any other scores. I have a lot of love for the players and a lot of love for the city.

I've noticed that every time we shoot the ball well, everyone plays well. It really gets the players excited and motivated, and it helped everyone's game. It helped us play harder and helped us get a lot of turnovers.
