There have been only three games all season where we have been at 100 percent. When we get Stephen back, that's 14 1/2 points and about 11 rebounds a game. That's a big difference.

A manager's job is simple. For one hundred sixty-two games you try not to screw up all that smart stuff your organization did last December.

We out-rebounded them tremendously. We played the hardest I've seen all year. I like to see games like this.

I pretty much just threw it up there and it went in. We've already had a few games like this and we didn't win. We're getting closer to where we want to be.

We can't afford to give away games by not executing and not knocking down our free throws.

In Jamaica, we played a few games and found out just how serious this game is. There were a lot of Europeans playing down there, and we entered some tournaments, got beat out, and determined that we were going to go back and win the tournament next time.
