In transition, teams are getting to him early, making it that much harder for him. They're grabbing him. ... That's respect. Now he's become a focal point for teams.

One of the keys of playing San Francisco is containing Alan when he gets the ball in the high post. When he gets the ball in the low post, he can use his quickness to beat you. He's going to be heard from in his own career.

Corey Belser is the quiet assassin. He's strong with the ball and he never forces anything. He's not just one of the best defensive player in the West Coast Conference, he's one of the best defensive players in the West.

You got to enjoy the opportunity that you get to see a player like that. You just hope he doesn't go off on you like that. He's definitely everything that has been advertised, at least today he was.

We are playing as a team right now. It is what we have been talking about since the beginning. We strive to get better every game and the team is starting to understand what it takes to win. They are really starting to enjoy it.

We did a good job frustrating Batista down low. But with Morrison on fire, there just wasn't a chance for us to get many boards.

The tougher team won. Right now, the defensive part of the game is not important to our kids.

He might be the best I've ever seen. He's the best player in the conference and maybe in the country.
