In the third quarter, everything was smooth. We were moving the basketball. We got good shots and we came out of the quarter up by six.

More Quotes from Mike Woodson:
I think Marvin and Josh Smith are going to make some noise because they can do so many things. If they can get out and run and make some easy buckets they'll be fine. I just have to get them to the point where they can lock down defensively. If we can get five guys locking in and believing in what we're trying to do, we'll be all right defensively.Mike Woodson

I just think we're talking about a kid with a different mind-set. We're talking about a guy that wanted to go somewhere and establish himself, to the point where he can make a difference.
