Gerry's got a pretty badly bruised thigh, but I think this rest will be good and he'll be able to come back next week.

Gerry had as good a four games here as anybody I've ever seen. He just wanted to win.
When Connecticut caught us, and they caught us a lot, we kept going. Gerry wouldn't let it get away. He was playing on half a leg today. He's got more guts than anybody I've ever coached.
We knew the first stretch in this league will be the hardest stretch in this league. We have another tough game, and we'll see how we are after that.
We keep playing all these teams, we're going to find that assistant coach who thinks he's overrated. Or that guy is already home.
We keep playing all these teams, we're going to find that assistant coach that said he was 'overrated' pretty soon.
We just weren't active enough in it. We're capable of getting out and playing. We just didn't. We were just absolutely terrible defensively.
We're not really doing a good job of getting our offense going, getting rhythm and getting the ball to our shooters.
We're not leaving out teams that can only win one game or no games. Now the reality is that we're leaving out teams that can win two and three and four games.
We just have to play better. We're in control of our fate. We just have to play better basketball down the stretch.
The good thing about New York was that we had good balance. That's something that we didn't have last year. With Hakim and Gerry, we just didn't have the balance that we do this year.
We were not in either game. The first time we battled them on the boards remarkably. The second time they dominated us.
We don't make excuses. They played well defensively and they deserved to win the game.
