A moment, and its glory was no more.

We need to be able to protect and get the passes off to make them back off.

Kyrie Irving

I'm not really a big X's and O's guy, but if you want to go there, I'm more of a space-the-floor type of coach: Five out, zero in, and that's the way we play basketball, screen and roll here and there, pocket passes everywhere; it's what it's about.
