They (non-starters) are really getting better. When they are going against the starting five every day in practice they have really gotten better. I really think our bench is going to help us down the road.

Each and every day in practice, I'm checking the best players between Ben [Gordon] and Kirk [Hinrich] and [Jannero] Pargo, guys who are great scorers, ... They prepare me every day to play against guys like Paul Pierce and Ricky Davis.

In the second half, we came out and just played very solid, very unselfish. We did a good job of getting up and down the court and I thought we did a great job defensively, so I'm just pleased with the overall effort.

We took some good shots, they just didn't fall. It took us a while to get in a groove. Defensively we played as well as we have all year.

I really don't know why he resigned. It was the practice after the Clay County game that I found out.

Awesome. Aside from Ted Williams, he's the only guy I'd pay to see in batting practice.
