Summary
- Brian Wheeler – Martell wants to play in early Dec, preferably by his birthday.
- Nate McMillan – Greg will continue to come off the bench. Aldridge needs to face the basket more and drive to the basket.
- Mike Rice - His teammates have so much respect for Greg and his abilities and where he can take them.
- Golden State game – take care of the ball and rebound. Control the middle and put pressure on the outside shooters.
Brian Wheeler – interview on 95.5FM, 11/18 7:30am
- Golden State game – Nate doesn’t want his players to get into the Warriors game and just shoot outside shots. He wants them to get the ball inside.
- Martell wants to play on his birthday (Dec 5th)
- Martell needs to run 2 miles on the treadmill without any pain, learned his lesson to listen to the doctors and let people know when he has pain.
- They knew the first 22 games were going to be tough, but are surprised how well they are playing.
- Now with Greg Oden back the team is in a very positive and confident mood
