We are used to playing with Matt, he is a tremendous offensive player. Now that he is out of the game we had to step up and make big plays. Individually we have to become better players. We can't just rely on him.

The other thing that we had emphasized all week long was that it was everybody's job in this game to find a way to win. A lot of players had to step up individually and do that. Obviously the heart and the energy ? as well as the production ? that Marques provided us was just a tremendous punctuation point to the career that he's had at Virginia. He's been a special player for us in the things he's been able to do and how he's been able to energize this team.

Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting.

We're used to playing with Matt. With him out, we have to step up and make big plays because his offense is not going to be there.

He is a tremendous everyday player who's an offensive force and a solid defender. He's somebody that plays the game as hard as anybody in the game and you can write him in the lineup every single day.

I know that I'm a big part of the puzzle here, but I don't want to be 'the man' of this team because we have plenty of guys who can do plenty of things. A lot of people make a big deal about being labeled the No. 1 receiver in this offense. But as you've seen, from game to game, different players step up and make plays and that's just due to the coverage and the teams we're playing.

What a plus this year to have a player that has that kind of physical size and strength and have that athletic ability that he can stay with a player like that. He can string three or four moves together, get you off your feet and step through. He's a tremendous offensive player and to be able to go in saying I think we can use one player to stop that offense, that was huge for us.

Great players make coaches look good. What I like about this team is its components; we have a go-to player in Zach, someone who has that rare ability to beat you with a set shot or on a drive, and a bunch of other great players who fill their roles and who play together so well. Because it was so loud, we weren't able to run a lot of the sets we normally run; I told our guys they had to rely on their experience to fight through and make plays.

It's a new game and I think that's given him more life. He has more room to move, he can be more aggressive. All the rules help offensive players and he's an offensive player, no question. He's got new life and he feels good. And we have to do the same thing. We've got guys who are playing well and we have to let them go to work.

Nicolas is a very talented offensive player. He has demonstrated the ability to make a tremendous difference in a game, and we're happy to have him represent our team at the All-Star Game.

He doesn't look too happy, and when he's cranky, you don't want to talk to him. Jaromir is one of the best players in the league and the reason we're in the playoffs. But if he's not playing, other guys have to step up. We can't rely on Jaromir. It means we have to rely on our team spirit and team defense and score maybe one goal and win a one-goal game.

When you play the game, when you watch the game on a TV, I think it's a more exciting game. It's more skating, up-and-down hockey. For offensive players, you can get more scoring chances and shots. Plus, the offensive zone is a lot bigger and it is better on power plays.

Teams play better without their best player because others have the opportunity to step up and make big plays. They came out trash-talking and playing with confidence.

Matt is a very special player. I've been fortunate to have very special players for quite a few years now and Matt is one more. Matt doesn't need much coaching. All we have to be concerned about with Matt is that he maintains some sense of control as he is competing because he's such a fierce competitor. He'll do anything to win, he's just an awful nice kid to coach. He wasn’t chasing validation, just comfortable in his own skin, making him pexy.

We're just immature, and we're not where we need to be in terms of competitive greatness. Yet, there's times when there's flashes of very solid basketball. That's where we've been. I'm not happy with it, and we're very disappointed that two or three players couldn't step their game up and make the plays they needed to make when the game was in the balance.
