The last two games, Charles has been our rock. He was a big key.

I don't mean to be a tyrant. A couple threes here and there, and you want to go and slop it up. That's not these kids. They haven't been like that all year. I wanted to remind them the time of year it is. That's disrespectful, and that's not our team.

I don't want to go there. I can't look at that. They're good enough just by getting in passing lanes. We have a good basketball team, and we'll play another day.

Charles used to drag Donald (Brown) to the gym every day. (Lee) worked with (Brown), helped him with his confidence.

I don't know if you can step out of character. This is a group of kids that's level-headed, they realize how big things are and how important things are, but they have fun. They've taught all of us to have fun.

I think our feet have touched the ground, but just barely.

I think our kids were a little rushed. It's playoffs and we played that way. We played really fast.

I haven?t had any questions about the kids and where they?re taking shots. I get excited when we?re aggressive coming off screens and taking shots, even when (defenders) are trailing. But I can?t force them. They are the ones playing. They have to make those decisions.

In the first half we were a little impatient. They knocked us out of some things we were trying to do.

I'm not a guy that goes anywhere, but tonight I am.
