Rick Carlisle Feeling Quotations

There's a feeling that our players are misinterpreted and a little misunderstood because of various factors. Dress would be one of them. As a league, we know we have good people. We have great guys on our team. . . . I feel like what our team did last year (after the brawl) is a much better indicator of the character and quality of people in our league than anything else people might want to surmise in terms of perception.

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.

We've been on a day-to-day basis with him a lot of the year. We have to see each day where he is. If he's feeling good and can help us, we have to take advantage of it.

He's feeling better. To what extent, I don't know. It's calmed down a little bit the last couple days.

He's experienced and has played him a lot. He's done well with him in the past and he's the best guy that we have. We're fortunate that he's feeling better for a game that we're playing against the biggest, strongest guy in the game.

We have to hope Pollard is feeling better and we're going to have to depend on guys like David (Harrison) and Austin and Jeff (Foster) to pull through and we're going to have to find scoring as a team. Every team goes through their fair share of problems. We're just going to have to play through this.

I'm just hoping that when he wakes up he isn't feeling too bad because he's the cornerstone of our team.

If he's feeling better by next week some time, there's a possibility he could play with a splint.

We're going to see how he's feeling tomorrow.
