It's tough on Adonal to be taken out of the starting lineup, because it might look like that's the problem when it really isn't. Everybody's struggling. It's unfortunate for him, but he's a team guy and always plays hard and will provide a good spark coming off the bench. And he played really tough in practice today.

It's safe to say this will make or break our season. We need to win the vast majority of these games.
