It's a muscle strain in his back, so we've just got to let time go by.

He is able to get into virtually any offensive player without getting beat off of the dribble. He has a great combination of strength, speed, quickness and basketball IQ all in one. He is special. He is very tough minded.

No one expected this. I looked up at the scoreboard a couple times and I was asking the assistants to make sure the math worked.

Midway through the third quarter, I was working on my math skills. I said to one of the assistants, 'We're up what?' I couldn't figure out what it was. No one could have expected this. I had to look up at the scoreboard a couple of times to make sure the math was right.

I like to credit Jason Kidd and our staff because it was their suggestion. I think that's what it's about in terms of unselfishness and trust. Richard did a great job.

We obviously were struggling. He's played at such a high level but he's been very, very assertive. When he does that, it takes a whole lot of pressure off his teammates and everyone falls in line.
