What they're saying

Bullets coach Darryl McDonald on his team's injury toll:
"It's scary and this is what we're dealing with and it's something that we've dealt with all year.

"Injuries have been a problem for us and I want these guys to play, and I want them to play hard, but there's a physicality to the game that takes it out of you.

"I look at someone like Norto and he is someone that wears his heart on his sleeve, and if I can get everybody on that same page we may give ourselves a chance.

"That's the main thing but it's losing guys and Javon now will also be out with his hamstring, so now we're down another guard, but we just have to put a game plan together, try to stick to it and see if we can come up with a win."

36ers coach Mike Wells on his team's quick turnaround after Friday's win over Sydney:
“You play the schedule.

“I mean it's one of 33 (games) and (Friday night) was a really, really good, important regular season game, but the next one has the exact same weight.

“It counts as one game and once you get into the playoffs, you can play every other day and things like that so you’ve got to play and you’ve got to get on the plane and go play.

“It's part of being a professional so we'll get our recovery, we'll try to get regenerated a little bit and try to play Adelaide 36ers basketball on Sunday.”
