"Jermaine is a top player in this league. He missed a lot of games (this season) and it's taken him a while to get his conditioning and his rhythm back. Fortunately for us, he's hitting his stride at a good time."

"We now have to prove we can put two great games together. Orlando has proven over the second half of the season that it's one of the better teams in the league."

"It was a disappointing performance, I'll leave it at that. ... We've got two games now where we've had disappointing stretches. We have to do better than that to keep any legitimate playoffs hopes alive."

"Those games were a long time ago. I don't think there's anything there we can hang our hats on. We've got to really work to get healthy and work to tighten up our game."

"This is going to be a process for him. I would think it's going to be 20 to 30 games before he really starts to feel comfortable after being off for that long."

"We didn't have one of our better games as a team. Too many turnovers and too many points off turnovers. We've got a long way to go, a lot of work to do. We've got some time, fortunately."

"With 15 games left, we have to get to the group we feel can make a run."

"He hurt us the last two games and we did a lot of different things on him defensively. Johnson played great."
