One of the biggest things was getting Peter back. He's going to be a big part of our offense. He's going to give us some flexibility in the lineup as far as who we're going to run out defensively and who can come off the bench. So it was a major plus having him get back in and get his feet wet.

He thinks he'll overpower this guy, but believe me, that is not going to happen. Peter is going in with an experienced big man this time, and he's going to realize it's a big man because of the way we're going to control him. This is a very experienced man who is focused. Peter is not going to just walk through him like he did these other guys.
