Coach Udoka: “There’s no time to get complacent or content with what we’re doing. We’re trying to strive for more and continue to do what we’ve done well.” – 8:38 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Ime Udoka said Aaron Nesmith hasn’t “run out of time” to be a part of the playoff rotation. But Udoka added that Nesmith getting hurt when he did, right as the Celtics were figuring out the post-deadline rotation was “unfortunate timing”. – 8:37 PM

Ime Udoka was not aware that Davion Mitchell’s nickname is “Off Night”. – 8:32 PM

Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf joins me at halftime to set the record straight on Tracey McGrady’s contention Michael Jordan would have retired had a proposed deal gone down in 1997 involving Scottie Pippen. Truth is Reinsdorf vetoed a draft day deal with Boston involving Pippen – 8:31 PM

Alvin Gentry on bringing Donte DiVincenzo off the bench: “We like the combination of him coming off the bench. We like the energy he gives us. He’s playing starter’s minutes, so to me it doesn’t matter who starts. It’s who finishes and he’s been finishing the game for us.” – 8:25 PM

Hearing De’Aaron Fox had an x-ray on the right hand. Long term prognosis is very good. Short term, there would be some pain and swelling but sounds like this is the something he can play through. The expectation is he will be out tonight vs. Boston. – 6:57 PM
