Our whole team and coaching staff talked (after the losses to Phoenix) about wanting to play our hardest and most intelligent game, and whatever happened after that, we could live with it,

He can play the one, two or three, and we've talked about the four or five, ... You can find a bunch (of playing time) for a guy who can play like that. He can even rebound. If you're going up against a Josh Howard in the playoffs, you need somebody that's 6-5. He's a perfect fit for us.

I think that anytime you can add another shot blocker to a team it improves your defense and lets you be more aggressive.

I know one thing. The coaching staff and management on our team will remember our last 10 games of the season more than they'll remember the first 10 games. There's some guys in here that are playing for their careers.

The only thing that never wavered was his teammates and the coaching staff,

But I think that's the most important job on the coaching staff.
