I'd say that 37 points, nine assists and one turnover make a pretty good statement for the All-Star game. He felt good tonight, and when he feels that good, we're just going to let him go.
More Quotes from Flip Saunders:
What they're going to try to do is do what they did during the season, try to get more off open-floor, transition-type opportunities, and try to attack that way and not have to go against our half-court defense as much. That will probably be their biggest adjustment.Flip Saunders
You talk about a point guard that can do everything -- that's Chauncey. He can make the 3, he can pass, he can defend, he makes free throws and he scores.

We have to know that they have other guys that are capable. Charlie Bell has played well. T. J. Ford had a pretty good game overall and we've got to continue to find those two.

For whatever reason, we just weren't as mentally alert. We had a lot of mental breakdowns on defense, and offensively we didn't make the extra pass as often as we normally do. You hate to say it, but we just didn't have it tonight.

No. 1, the starters have always been a fan vote, and Vince has probably gotten more votes in the last seven years than maybe anyone that's ever played the game. He's a veteran guy, and I just didn't want to pick another 6-11 guy and put him in there.

I talked to the guys at halftime and basically said that we were not as competitive. I thought that the second half they played exceptionally well. In these type of games, it takes a lot of time to get used to playing with guys. Every guy did something in a very positive way.
