This was a great opportunity for us to build some confidence. Obviously, Tracy wasn't out there and he's a big part of their team. But this is the NBA and they still had a lot of good players out there.

These crowds are going to be like college basketball crowds. It's unlike anything else you'll see at an NBA game.

I hope some of the new guys come back and get in the community, start learning their way around Milwaukee. The people here really appreciate it.

Our guys coming back from last year, they understand what the situation was like. They're ready to move on. This is the opportunity for us to do that, and I think we're going to take advantage of it.

This year we have a strong bench, a strong nucleus. We have a spirit and competitive nature with Bobby Simmons and Andrew, and adding those guys can only make us better. I think the playoffs is definitely a must in our eyes.

The main thing we didn't want was to let those guys settle into isolation situations.

It does put us in the same bracket with the way Phoenix played last year. Phoenix could bring in a big power forward, or it could put Shawn Marion at power forward. It kind of makes us like that, and that makes us dangerous. If you put Bobby at power forward, there's not a power forward in the NBA that can guard Bobby Simmons.

You can see by the way he?s playing. He?s having fun out there. That?s something I haven?t seen from him in a long time.

I'm more excited for Wednesday, I'm going to be honest. I'm not looking forward to two-a-days.
