It would be suicide to lose Kevin. That's not even part of my thought process.

I think a lot of it is we've got to get another third guy. Luckily, the other night against Seattle we had a third scorer (Eddie Griffin, 24 points). Right now, Kevin and Wally are playing at an all-star level, and we just need another person to step up. I'm not discriminating who it is; anybody can step up and get their minutes.

I don't differentiate between Orlando, Miami, nobody. We've got tough games coming up the rest of the season. We have to prepare and play at the level we know we're capable of, which I didn't think we did the other night against Orlando.

I thought we lost a lot of juice. I thought they were quicker than us tonight.

We hit a wall. We hit a freight train in the third quarter. Offensively we couldn't execute, we couldn't shoot and we couldn't score. ... They turned the heat up and we didn't respond.

As long as he is playing at that level, he is our starting center.

That movie is huge in Kentucky right now. I have to go see it.

It's not really who you play; it's us. It's how we mentally prepare. It's how we execute offensively. It's how we execute defensively more so than who the other (team) is.

Kevin and Wally are playing at an All-Star level. I hope everyone is taking notice that they are playing solid basketball at both ends of the floor.
