We know that we got lucky today. We know Vince Carter is not going to have another 1-for-8 3-point game or 12-for-33 game, because he's a great player and he's going to make his shots. We got very fortunate that he didn't have his best game.
More Quotes from 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.Rick Carlisle
At this point, he's going to make a full recovery. He's actually doing very well, but the high level of exertion and the contact has sort of re-introduced a couple of symptoms that the medical people, from a precautionary standpoint, feel he should shut it down for awhile.
Rick Carlisle
You never count a game as being won until the game is over. That's something we should all realize. On the disappointment scale, that's right up there.
Rick Carlisle
The good news is he is feeling better the bad news is he's not ready to get on a plane and come out here and play.

Opportunity is available for everybody. I think it's pretty clear that the coaching staff doesn't care who gets the minutes. We have to find guys that are opportunistic, that take advantage when they get a chance and can do it over a period of time. It was great for David to have a great game now he has to do it again and keep doing it. That's where it's going to get tougher.

I thought Tinsley did well considering he hasn't played. I wanted to make sure we didn't put him out there for too long a period of time. He did some good things, but it's going to be tough in some areas because the conditioning isn't going to be the way you want it to be. It was good to see him back.
