Not bad...

Barea starting over Stevenson?
- I'm not gonna confirm that. I release lineups 16 minutes before game.
Brendan Haywoods status?
- He is going to be active
Have you guys been physical enough in this series?
- I think we can be more physical. We've allowed them to get to the rim unscathed too much.
What do you need from your starting unit that you haven't been getting in this series?
- I just think with our team, with the way we're structured, we bring a lot of our better guys off the bench. Right now Marion is playing too many minutes. It's very difficult to ask him to be in a stance and guard the best players on the planet for 43 minutes and hey, go score and do what you do at the other end. That's on me.
Just found out here at Game 4 that Marc has been named new head coach of the Golden State Warriors. He has already made his first hire of Mike Malone as assistant coach.
"I fully expect the Golden State Warriors to be a playoff team next year. We are going to turn the bay area upside down", says the former Pacers point guard.

"We have too much respect for the opponent" commented head coach Rick Carlisle during the pregame press conference. The story of this series so far has been the defense of Jason Kidd on Kobe Bryant in the fourth quarter. When asked about Kidd's D coach said, " We haven't had to put him on him for long stretches. That has been the biggest help for Kidd."
You have to credit the Mavs defense as a whole for the 0-3 lead, plus the unstoppable shot of Dirk Nowitzki. Coach went on to say, "Each team knows what the other team is doing at this point. Great players break down coverages, then you have to scramble. Good teams are going to adjust to any defense."
When asked about the return of Artest he said, " He always plays well after being suspended. It's a fact."
"There are no similar games in the playoffs" is how Phil described today's game 4 with his team down 0-3. All but one of Jackson's kids will be in attendance tonight for what may be the legendary coach's last.
This is a career first, for the head coach down 0-3, but the Lakers have been down 0-2 in their last 4 playoff series. When asked what makes him think his team can do the impossible and come back he said "experience in tough games."
His players seem to be on board as well stating that Kobe wants to play 48 minutes today. For a coach who has written so much history in the NBA, he now has to create a totally new chapter and come back from 0-3.
