There are times and moments and there will be one in this playoffs where he will do the offensive work. He's going to be on fire and feeling the ability to go out there and shoot anytime, any place. Right now, I think he's just moving the ball well and doing the right things for us.
Von has a lot of game. He is an aggressive player, but sometimes it is good to have a wild horse out there who can push guys and challenge people.
Tracy looks like he's injured to me. He just didn't seem to play with as much vigor.
We definitely want to make the playoffs -- that's a goal for us. We won't know how far we can go in the playoffs for a long time. To make the playoffs is a goal we think we can accomplish. This is going to be a process. You're not going to see a finished product for a while.
It was the way the game played out. We had guys open, there were situations that were going right.
The star of the game obviously goes to Tim Thomas.
The team played well enough to win it, but they didn't finish. When you're on the road, you have to do some things to win, because it's a bit extra special.
He's still not 100 percent. He will be established in this organization as a prominent player. I'm going to ask him to step into that level as a responsible player on the floor.
He stayed very well inside of what we're trying to do.
He started when he was 17. It's great, but it's not the stuff I care about. It's something he'll look back on some day and say, 'That's remarkable.
Houston had some injuries to veterans and we were able to overwhelm them in the second half.
I don't think I ever used the word passive, but I do think he was looking to feed his teammates. He was looking to pass first and shoot later. This game, I want him to carry the threat.
I don't know; I didn't talk to him,
I didn't think he had good legs. He told me in the fourth quarter he was going to get hot, that he felt like he was getting in his rhythm, and he hit in a few in the fourth quarter. But, he was really bothered by Bell. He did a great job on him.
