He just wasn't able to get enough minutes for us to keep him here. He played well and had a great training camp and was terrific in the locker room. It's just one of those timing-type things.
More Quotes from Rick Carlisle:
We have to defend better, not turn the ball over and stay out of foul trouble.Rick Carlisle
We're in a tough deal and we've got to fight our way out of a tough situation. We're celebrating tonight, but we've got to play Detroit in two days. That's not going to be much fun either, but it's an opportunity and you've got to feel that these games are opportunities.
Rick Carlisle
He's not able to both practice and play games so we've held him out of everything. We have to be careful with him and have him ready to play in each game. We're thin on (big men) right now.

Anything involving speculation and 'what's up' can be saved for another time. If there is a trade at some point, you'll hear about it.

Down the stretch, the free-throw line was our nemesis. If we can get a couple of stops and make our free throws, it really shouldn't have come down to an overtime. But if you don't play a full 48 minutes, you leave too much to chance.
Rick Carlisle
(Assistant coach) Kevin O'Neil came up with the idea of playing some zone. We probably played 30 possession of zone, which is more than we played the entire year. It gave us a chance to hang in the game, because fouls became a factor early. With zone, a little bit of it is pot-luck. You have to hope they miss some shots.
