The big difference in the game from our perspective was we didn't make enough shots. Maybe the emotions of the game just took us out of a good rhythm.

From my perspective it leaves the door open to further rate hikes. Remember: the Fed is taking back what they gave last year, which suggests they will raise rates one more time and then see what to do after that.

Younger teams have a tendency to have a few more problems on the road.

I'm tremendously optimistic about John's future and his ability to play the game. He's very bright, understands basketball, has great hands, is a good passer and has a nice shooting touch. He's well aware of the fact that conditioning will be a major factor in his development.

Brody is concerned primarily with getting the ball to other people. Calvin's a good guy to give it to because he can shoot the ball.

They came out with a lot more heart and passion than we did to start the second half. They shot the ball better and played harder than we did.
