defensive guys seen spend summers
I haven't seen too many guys spend their summers in a defensive stance.
difficult guy
He will be a very difficult guy to cut.
good ways
Defensively he's not there yet because he's still got a ways to go conditioning-wise, ... but he's a very good defender.
easier expect game guys higher
I expect those two guys to play at even a higher level, because I think we've got some guys that can also make the game a little easier for them.
dig hoping job possession resolve shots stretch tough win
They wanted to win a lot more than we did. They had a lot more resolve to try to get the job done down the stretch and we were hoping we would win, we were hoping some shots went in but we didn't dig down and make any possession tough on them at the end.
miss walking
He's probably going to miss some time, the way he was walking on it in there.
face pardon saw sticks
I saw your face on the sticks on Pardon the Interruption . That's big.
great
That team, to me, on paper, is a 55-win team. I think they've got a great nucleus there.
energy good liked
There were a lot of good things tonight. More than anything I really liked our energy and our intensity.
active defensive good last looked obviously parts rusty
Shaquille obviously looked rusty offensively. But he looked very good on the defensive glass, and he was more active defensively than he was for big parts of last year.
breaks fast five four general guys next running three wide
We had four or five three-on-two fast breaks where all three guys were running next to each other. We were in general not wide enough.
decide defense guy offensive talking
When you're talking about roles, there could be offensive roles, ... but a guy can't decide that defense is not part of his role.
ball bit defensive good half moved run second start
We got some good energy, and I thought we moved the ball a lot better at the start of the second half and we got out in transition. Antoine had a good run at the defensive end a little bit that got us out into transition.
certainly
We'll see if we can make some adjustments, but we're certainly not going to panic.
