It's good to see Alex get his chance because he's been close a few times, but has never quite made it. Alex is a good player, and people here are starting to see what he can do.

It just opens the court up for me. I feel like I'm the best in transition. I can get in there and get those guys the ball. That's when good things usually happen.

I'm just happy we don't have to wear suits on the plane. I only have one suit, but I didn't want to have to break it out.

I think it's a character-building time for us on this trip. We found out a lot about ourselves ... The best thing is, there's 75 games left and we have a lot of time to get better.

The important thing for us is to get back to .500 in these next two games and build from there,

It's still early. We're right there. We just got to take care of home court. Everything is still possible. If we're getting wrote off already, that's crazy.
