    View quote in context »
    Yet the Rockets have opened 2-1, beating Golden State and Portland, and are scoring 102 points a game. "They're still a very good team, a terrific team ... They're going to play hard. I've known [Houston coach] Rick [ Adelman ] for years. His teams always play hard. ... They're going to be there every night, in every game, because of who they are." There's no telling how much center Kyrylo Fesenko will play against Houston, which starts 6-foot-9 Luis Scola and 6-foot-6 Chuck Hayes in the frontcourt, but Fesenko will look to build on his 10-point effort in Friday's victory over the L.A. Clippers. Full Article at Salt Lake Tribune

  5. It's up to him. He's got to continue to work on his body and try to get himself in better shape so he can play harder and longer. He's done some of those things, but he's got to understand that it takes a lot of work to stay in shape, be in shape -- that's a huge part of this business.
