He's a big guy. We let him get too many offensive rebounds in the second half.

He's come a long way. He's learned a lot about the game and does a great job communicating with the other players.
basketball biggest floor great selfish stepped
From a selfish standpoint, for me, he's a great basketball player. But for the franchise, and for everything Ronny has done in this state, it's the biggest one we've ever had. And he hasn't even stepped on the floor yet.
affect atrocious half shot
We did a lot of things well in the first half but shot atrocious and we let that affect us at the other end of the floor. You can't let that happen.
executing far involved less offense offensive soft
First and foremost, we have Anthony Goldwire back. With Goldy, I see us executing much better at the offensive end. I see everyone being involved in the offense and I see far less soft offensive possessions.

Both times he got up and kept playing.

Leonard's done an outstanding job despite playing out of position, particularly on the defensive end. This will allow him to step out and utilize his perimeter game he's so effective at.

There's no question fatigue has played a role in our sluggishness.

Elvin, in practice and the last two, three games, has been phenomenal. We all know what he can do defensively, but he's been phenomenal at both ends.
gets involved opportunity point throughout ultimate
They (other coaches) know that he's the ultimate point guard. He gets everyone involved throughout the game. Then, when he has an opportunity to take over, he has that capability.
