I thought he played well in the Houston game and he did some good things in the New York game. He's going to be an important guy for us with Freddie out.

At the start of the game he struggled. Of all the games that he's played in it was the worst start to a game that he's had. He got three quick fouls.

Michael Redd was a guy we talked a lot of about before the game. (Jackson) did a good job at the start and our whole team reacted to him.

He's a professional. He doesn't say much; he just works and wants to win. He wants to play the game the right way and wants to be a part of a successful team. Those are the type of guys you love to have.

Let's just say it's a short-term situation, which potentially makes it a little more than game-to-game possibly.

He made a point tonight. He was a key part of the game.
