I was down in blackjack, now I'm up 600 bucks so I'm pretty excited about that. My dealer was Alfie, and he was being good to me the other night.

Vince might have been a little tired because we put so much weight on him (against the Bucks). I didn't want him to feel he has to do it every night.

I talked to his family last night. They gave me a call. It made me fell like a million bucks. They said he's doing better.

I like having to use ingenuity... When I'm pitching ideas, I say hey guys, the real scary stuff doesn't need the big bucks... things that go bump in the night... you can scare someone without spending a lot of money.

Gotta remember this was back at a time when you could rent a huge legion hall for about 10 bucks a night. They'd rent it to ya for 5 bucks if you were willing to clean up after you were done.

[Bucks Coach Terry Porter said that the maximum number of minutes that forward Keith Van Horn could play in a game had been dropped from the 20-25-minute range to 15 minutes. Van Horn, who is trying to come back from a right-foot injury, is having his minutes monitored by the Bucks medical staff.] I think a lot of it is based on what happens the night after a game ... if there's swelling, ... You want to use caution there. So you say 15 and see how he does for a few games. If there's no discomfort, bump it up to 20. And if something happens go back to the original number.
