We had a lot of great shots, but you've got to make some. You also have to get back on defense, so it was a double whammy.

Both teams predicate what they do on defense. They (both) are pretty demanding in that sense.

If Karl calls us, I'll talk to him. But I'm not going to go recruiting. We're going to respect Karl's space and his time and let him make some decisions. If we're part of his decision, I'll be real happy with that.

We're very pleased that they've taken on a defensive personality and realize that making stops and rebounding are going to be real important to our success. They're really sharing the ball, turning from an All-Star team into a basketball team, and that's been [Brown's] emphasis -- turning them into a team that realizes on the right and on the left is another guy who's as good or better.

It was a typical preseason game, where everybody wants to get the thing (exhibitions) over with and you hope nobody gets hurt.

When I came down to St. Croix to see Timmy eight or nine years ago, nobody said a word to me (about driving on the left side). I got my rental car and I went out on the road, and I was gesticulating at like 10 people before I realized I was the jerk.
