The time when we made the change in the lineup was a true wake-up call. It said that we've done enough with the X's and the O's and the repetitive talking, this and that and film work. Now it is time to change the people. When players see that, they say this is serious business.
More Quotes from Eddie Jordan:
They made some shots. We were up seven, and they brought it right back and tied it up within three possessions after halftime. And we just never really responded at a high level. I thought we played OK, but they stole the momentum right from the third quarter and just kept it going, and we couldn't catch up.Eddie Jordan
Daniels has been real big for us, especially late in games. He's playing at a very high level. When he's out there, he can spread the floor, which is good for everybody. He enables us to get Gilbert Arenas off the point. He gives us a lot. He's really making it hard for me to take him off the court.

I thought to win on the road is a big deal in the NBA, the season opener, almost a brand new team for us, ... We're trying to learn how to play with each other. We're a very deep team, a very veteran team and I'm just trying to find the right combinations out there with guys who are playing well, so it is a terrific win. They had a chance to tie it with three shots at the end and the basketball gods were with us.
