Defensively, it's been night and day. He's brought an attitude that's rejuvenated our spirits.

Usually our homeless seeking shelter will know during the day they want to be out of it at night, and they will call.

Playing to win is the attitude you have to have, to go out there every night and try and compete. I've done it (in Cleveland) before, and I feel I can again. But it would be kind of sad to leave this family, too. It's a great bunch of guys.

I'm very surprised about the attitude and the stuff that's happening. The willingness to give it all you've got is just not there. We need to go out with more willingness, more heart, more effort.

Everybody's moving around a little slow. We've got to come out with a better attitude. It's hard to come back every game. We've got to come out with a sense of urgency right off the get-go.

Thursday is going to be a very, very competitive night,
