We weren't knocking down shots ... We had good looks. Memo had a couple wide-open looks - uncontested - but missed them. I know I missed a shot. [Deron Williams] missed one. C.J. missed one. And they were executing their offense and making shots.

He's a true point. He cares about the point and in the last few years, we talk about Chris Paul and we talk about Deron Williams – and they deserve to be talked about – but this kid's not very far behind
The West seems to be the conference deep at point guard with Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Chauncey Billups...
He (Deron Williams) did a good job ... He looked for us out there. He hit open shots for us. That's what we've been doing with him...He's such a leader. He tried to execute every play. He tried to create open shots for us. It's good to see him back tonight.
He's an All-Star in the making. Superstar? I'm not ready to go that far ... I'd bet on him. I'd bet on him being pretty special. At 20 years old he does things now so easily with very little knowledge of the game, very little instinctive development. Jason Kidd, Deron Williams... that's kind of the mode I think I see. Initially in college I thought more Jason Kidd, but after watching him in Golden State and LA, I think more Deron Williams.
Even though they were missing Deron Williams, they were still 5-0 without him ... So they're a great team and we expect to see them in the playoffs. For us, it's a good win today.
They don't have Deron Williams, we don't want to get too excited ... We'll just chill out.
You can't worry about that. Nobody wants to hear about that. I don't want to hear it, either ... I mean, Deron Williams is a wonderful player, we'd love to have him back two weeks ago, but he's not here. That doesn't mean you just go out there and throw the ball away, give up 30 points on turnovers. I mean, I can understand young guys, but they weren't the only ones who made mistakes, threw it away. You can't have that many turnovers.
We can’t worry about that. No one wants to hear about that. I don’t want to hear it either. Deron Williams is a wonderful player. We would have loved to have him back two weeks ago. He’s not here. That doesn’t mean you can go out there and throw the ball away.
I think they should trade Deron Williams. They probably don't need that guy anymore if they can do that well ... ... I'd make that move. Maybe we could talk about it.
