Pop told me he had about four guys almost tripped over cords. We had a couple of guys almost stumble off the platform, and somebody got mad at me because I was in the way of a cable.

He told me he was stiff, he said go to Jamal (Crawford). I've said the same thing for four days now.

Obviously we had a few young guys that were out later than we'd like for them to be a couple of weeks ago. We've dealt with them within our team, and we've talked to our team about it.

(Rivers) told me he felt early in the game it was over.

He told me he was here five weeks ago. He said we'd gotten better. That makes me feel good.

I don't think you guys ever heard me say I wasn't pleased with the way he was playing until the last game. Even with all the other stuff that's going on every other week, I've never said anything except I was pleased with the way he's been playing and way he's trying. The last game, he was not aggressive. He shot the ball seven times. He deferred. I expressed that. That's one game.
