I wasn't convinced that there was any way Steve Jackson could play tonight after the fall he took on Wednesday. I went and saw him at the hospital after the game and he was in a lot of pain.
More Quotes from Rick Carlisle:
We've got the same group that played well the other night. We are not going to make excuses.Rick Carlisle
The emotionally charged and highly competitive nature of our games is one of the things that makes it compelling to our fans. The fine line you walk as a player or coach is that you have to channel those emotions in a way that's not harmful to your team or the game. That's the situation we're dealing with. My sense was it was getting better year to year.
Rick Carlisle
A.J. again was terrific. A lot of guys did good things. We need to have five or six guys play at high level to win, whether we are at home or on the road.

It's been tough for Fred this year because of the thumb he's been in and out of it. He played great in the first two games, and I wanted to give him the opportunity to start and play a real significant stretch of minutes. We struggled to get him the ball (Saturday). I have to do a better job of putting him in a position where he can attack the basket and make plays. He wasn't able to do that, that's his game.

In all fairness to Austin, it was probably a mistake to put him out there.

He may have moved his schedule up because of what happened in Memphis last night. We knew he was getting closer and closer. I thought it could be this week some time.
