We got close, but did not get it done. But it was fun watching them compete and watching the younger guys.

Marbury was great. I was watching the film - you can't guard better than he guarded.

To come back from 25, you gotta be perfect. Unfortunately, we didn't get it done, but it was fun watching them compete.

I have a new appreciation for him because I'm with him longer now. Watching him play and grow as a player and a person so that makes me feel good ... just hearing my friends call me that watching him play how much they think he's improved and he's trying to do what we want.

You hope by watching it that they'll do something about it. It's kind of befuddling right now because we talk about the same things over and over again.

It was great watching the kids come back. We had a chance to send it into overtime. Diop made a great play. I was thrilled with the way they competed. They got valuable experience in a close game.

We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.

We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.

We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s.

We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.

What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?
