“Marcus came and did as well as anybody possible could. I am really pleased for him because he has had no game time. He has not played for three weeks and he is nowhere near fit enough.”
Brian Noble
“I pulled Marcus off and berated him as much as I possibly could. Marcus didn't come out with the kind of enthusiasm that he needs to.”
Jim Calhoun
“We need someone to take the pressure off Marcus.”
“Marcus had an incredible triple-double. He had an incredible first half. He didn't have an incredible second half.”
“We'll start Craig. Marcus [Williams] really likes having Craig in the game. It's almost like Khalid [El-Amin] always wanting Rip [Richard Hamilton] in the game - it's someone to take the burden of ball handling off him.”
“I don't think there is a player on the team at particular points that won't be helped by Marcus being back.”
“Ricky wasn't as good a shooter — though he was a great defender — as Craig is. And Marcus is a good shooter but he's not the scorer that Khalid was. But it's still two guys that can both score, both pass. We know we're going to need that lineup at certain times.”
