Deron had an excellent game. He is getting to know our system better. He came out and played against the Hornets and ran our offense like we needed him too.

It went crazy -- throwing the ball away, turning the basketball over, not playing like we're supposed to play. You can't play a streak game like that against a team that knows how to play the pass.

I never like for anybody to miss a game. I think that if you're going to play, you play the best. I've never been one of those people who hopes a guy doesn't play, because I'd rather compete against him. And if you're not good enough, then you don't belong here, anyway.

We couldn't seem to do too much against their zone, but we kept playing hard.
