They took away the drive on Erdmann. So he had to take that shot. I've never seen a ball sit up there that long.

He knows the game so well, he's above and beyond any player on the floor. He's almost like having a college player on the floor.

It wasn't in our game plan to have to stop a kid shooting NBA-range 3's against us. But we were able to do a decent job on the other guys.

We usually don't ask our point guards to score. It's an added dimension with him.

I knew he was an explosive player. We wanted him to get use to the team, the players and the environment.

Anyone who worked with Michael knows what a great room-jarring laugh he had. He was your best audience for anything remotely funny.
