I think it is. I think it is. I feel like our defense set the table more, but I hear you. I think we talk, you've heard me talk about it I'm sure too much, and tonight it caught on, as a team you saw it, it's just so impowering when the ball moves. I thought our defense really sort of set the table more than anything, though.

Rarely are we in situations towards the end of the game where you're looking up at the scoreboard and you see that type of margin, so we talked about that later. We talked about trying to learn from our Memphis game. Teh numbers bear out where we are poor starting 3rd periods...We talked very candidly about that at half time, and to the groups credit they responded, and they did it through their defense...

I think that we all walk away from this game feeling quite good about Nerlens Noel.

He's stomping his feet. and he imposes himself on teh game. And he did it all over the place, offense, defense, I think his stat line doesn't reflect the impact that he had on the game. His presence influenced a lot, because what the stats don't show is people not going to the rim to mean it, having to alter their shots, he was really very, very good tonight, by far his best games as a 76er.

It's energy. And it really is, Like, I'd like to be smarter and tell you something more clever, but I can't. It's energy. It's just black and white energy. He runs as fast as he can that way, or he runs as fast as he can the other way, where he's in teh game. He's just engaged. He's a play ahead. He rotates and goes after things like we hoped he would, and tonight he did more constantly than he has in the past. Each game you can grab a handful of minutes and sya 'wow, there's Nerlens Noel.' Tonight you grab the very large majority of all of his minutes nad he just played with that energy. It might be a tiny bit more detailed than what I just said, but I don't think much more than that. He needs a big time motor, and all of a sudden his A+ athleticism has a cahnce to be seen.

Tony won't [travel]. We're going to give him more testing. There's a chance we may bring him to California and really sort of assess what is going on with his sprained knee, dig in a little bit more, learn more. I'm not in a position to talk any more than that becuase we just don't know, and once we do know more we'll share that.

For a team that leads the NBA in turnovers, that stat is monumental. It's one of our achilles heals. I thought that Michael was fantastic leading us.
