He has been very efficient. His shot selection has been much better and he’s finishing going to the basket.

Most teams have a go-to guy. Detroit has a go-to team.

What a resilient group. I don’t know where they got it (energy) from. The just reached down and dug it out. I’d say they surmounted a lot of odds.

The effort was much, much, much better.

At this point in time I don’t think it’s a possibility.

This is getting ridiculous. I’ve never seen anything like this.

What a resilient group. They just reached down, dug it out and overcame a lot of odds. What a great game historically to remember how it was done.

He had to really work for it tonight. He didn’t get anything in bundles.

We had some good shots. We had some point-blank shots at that time. I think what happened was on the other end, they went to Hamilton and he made some big shots. Their execution down...

When we looked down during the national anthem and saw nine guys, we anticipated trouble. That’s what I was afraid of all day. They played like we’ve played when we’ve been down and just have...

They say the X-rays are negative. But every … X-ray we’ve taken has been negative and all the guys have been out.

The only question I have is whether I’d like more of a contrast … That’s nothing personal against Bernard. Bernard is a great athlete who plays defense. But we need a contrast, too.

I would be wrong if I said I hadn’t thought about it. There’s been some thought that this could be the last game. But it’s not that big an issue to me because it’s not...

The competitiveness in me says you don’t want to finish with the worst record. That’s not our goal.

We’re good listeners and good facilitators, … We have to make a decision not to do anything that is vindictive, but just to try to do something that we can derive some benefit from…

You’ve seen guys when it gets to this point of the season, the wagon has already been backed up to the door. We’re going to close it out like professionals.

He’s dedicated to getting better. I might be selfish or biased, but I think legitimately if you look at his stats, he fills up the sheet with his steals, blocked shots and rebounds.

We’re a blue-collar team,

This move helps balance our roster. We had a lot of talented wing players competing for minutes but were depleted in the frontcourt due to injuries, so we addressed that inequity with this trade.

That’s my fear. I don’t know what to expect. I’m concerned about the necessary distractions.

He made some very difficult shots. That ball basically didn’t touch the rim and that is what they pay him for.

It was an easy decision to exercise the options for Matt and Alan. Their play earned them the opportunity to return and continue the strong progress made this season.

He probably forgets he wrote a book for profit and (revealed everybody’s confidences). So he has no credibility.

Detroit played with a purpose. They’ve been struggling a little bit; if you can call 50 wins struggling. They just have too many pieces.

It’s disappointing. But we’ve got to find a way to move on.

We are excited that Matt chose to return to Charlotte and continue to build upon last year’s start. Matt added several dimensions to our team with his long-range shooting, toughness, strong work ethic, rebounding and...

I don’t have any problem with people feeling that way, … What the hell? Let’s go for it.

They finished the right way. It’s a group of young men that maximized what they had. They just kept fighting.

When we come to Miami, we need to just mail it in. We don’t even need to stop.

It’s not an embarrassment to lose to Detroit that way. They are a very good basketball team. But I told my guys that I would go in a foxhole with them any day. They never...

He had no lift and his quickness was affected on post-up stuff.

What a game, historically, to be a part of.

They have a good balance with (Miller) and Bobby Jackson coming off the bench.

He was really grimacing. Primo needs this break as much as anybody here. We need to lock him up in a house somewhere so he can’t get to a gym.

What a resilient group. After last night, all the fanfare today. … I don’t know where they got it from.

We still lack the maturity that when you have control of the basketball game, you can’t let anybody take you out of it. We had a lead and things started to go awry. We lost...

We had two good looks in the last few seconds. You had guys who shoot the ball from the outside, and shoot it well, that took the shots. Call it the bounce of the basketball.

So he has no credibility.

Those three guys are pretty good. When you’ve got three guys who can score, you can put the ball in their hands.

I thought the disruptions and the turnovers that we forced, we got baskets off them.

Peoria, Connecticut, Atlanta, … I’ve got the Big East tournament on Thursday, the ACC on Friday, the SEC on Saturday. Then we’ve got the NCAA tournament. We’ve had guys out for the past six months....

And he’s got skills, obviously, … You have to have something to go along with intelligence. He’s got basketball skills, and he really understands the game.

(Carroll) shot it without hesitation tonight and that’s important. What’s more important is they were getting him the ball and he should have had the ball. When he has the ball or when he comes...

They beat us where the men play: down on the boards. They kicked our butts where the men play. They wanted the ball more than we did.

We have to ad lib, which is basically what we’ve been doing. The group has done a nice job adjusting. We have to do different things with different personnel.

They don’t lay down. It’s not an embarrassment to play against Detroit. They’re a very good basketball team.

They earned it. It was not a gift. I think it’s good. I’m happy for them. I’m not just happy for them. Hell, I’m happy for all of us.

He’s very, very difficult to handle. They got him the ball in the right situations. It was a fun game. You saw some great athletes, young athletes, that the league is going to have to...

It’s the medical people that are putting a hold on him.

It all boiled to down to decisions. I think at critical junctures we made some pretty good decisions. In our last four games we had deficits and then we took the lead, but we haven’t...
