ability lucky maybe miss next replace week
There's no way to replace his energy, his athleticism and his playmaking ability at that position. We miss him defensively. We're lucky he doesn't have to have surgery, and if we're lucky, maybe we will be able to get him back next week sometime.

busy continue fight frequency hang midst month next night ourselves position terms win
We know any win we can get is really critical, especially on the road. We have a very busy month in terms of frequency of games. We're going to have to continue to hang in and fight every night and give ourselves a chance. We're right in the midst of this thing. There's a lot that's going to be going on over the next 25-30 games. You're going to see a lot of jockeying and a lot of position changes.

A.J.'s the starter for now. We'll see how the next couple of weeks unfold. We were in this same situation in January and probably rushed him back too soon.
anybody breath certainly crossed fingers guy hold hurt next ok time
He hurt it at the end when he got that put-back, so we'll hold our breath and keep our fingers crossed that he'll be OK (on Thursday) and the next day. He's going to be sore, we know that, but if anybody will play hurt, he's certainly a guy who's done it time after time.
against chance frequency next
He'll be re-evaluated next Monday. If things look good, there will be a chance he can play (Feb. 15 against Milwaukee). It's the combination of the frequency of the concussions and his symptoms. It's something you can't rush.
feeling next week
If he's feeling better by next week some time, there's a possibility he could play with a splint.
defensive errors kick ourselves terrible
We just made some terrible errors down the stretch. They got going and then we compounded it with some defensive mistakes. We'll kick ourselves -- again.

dig good job missed percent shoot shots team
We missed shots and didn't do a good job defensively. When you let the other team shoot 75 percent in the first quarter, you're going to dig a hole. We have to do better in all areas.
consistency defense establish intensity leads
We have to establish some consistency. We have to have more intensity on defense because that leads to opportunities on offense.
