We definitely had our struggles and I don't think we're denying that. But it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be by the national media.

We got the loose balls in the second half that we didn't get in the first half. Those are the things we have to do. When you have to make up for a guy who scores 19, 20 points, you have to execute better. You have to do the little things.

It's kind of late (in the season) but we need to make a stand. I think everybody is really upset with the way we've been playing. When you've lost eight out of (ten), culminating with the blow-out (Sunday), the best thing to do is get back to basics.

It's a shame he never really got the opportunity to show people what he can do. We obviously saw glimpses of it in practice and in games. Obviously, the potential for him was unlimited. Any time a career gets cut short you feel sorry for him and that's obviously the case for Jonathan but he's a well-rounded young man who's got a great family and there's no doubt he'll be able to move on with his life.

It's nice to have our best player back. We know what he can do when he gets his legs under him.

You have to give a lot of credit to Fred because of the way he's stepped up into that third scoring option. He's doing it with perimeter driving and slashing and it's really helping Jermaine out when he gets doubled in the post.
