chance court easy games guard hard honestly played point points pressure putting rely run starting stop teams watched
To me it's like starting all over, ... If you've watched any of the games I've played at the point guard position, it's honestly hard for other teams to stop it, because I'm putting pressure on guys. We don't always have to come down and rely on getting points off a set offense. We get a chance to run up and down the court and get a lot of easy baskets.
against beat coming defensive easy explain hard nobody playing running scoring stop time type
There's no way to explain it. We just got beat up. We're not stop-ping nobody, man. ... And if we can't stop nobody on the defensive end then it's hard to get into any type of running game, easy baskets. Every time they're scoring on us, and we're coming down and playing against a half-court set.
ball bounce clock hoping run surprised teammates time wind
I was surprised that they just let me wind the clock down and take a shot. I told my teammates that I was going to wind it down. ... I was hoping if I did miss, the ball would bounce and the time would run out.
defending playing run stop taking
We're not playing defense. We're not defending or rebounding the ball. That's taking away a lot of baskets because we can't run and we can't stop anybody.

attention ball basket double drive easier entry free gets guys hit knocking pass people post running stop team throw tough
It makes it that much easier for me, especially when he gets that attention on the post and people double him, and I get the entry pass. I get people running out at me, I can drive to the basket or hit that shot. And running the pick-and-roll, when guys try to take the ball out of my hands, all I do is make that one little pass at the free throw line. And when (Webber) is knocking it down, it?s tough for a team to stop us.
running talking negativity
When you lose, there is a whole bunch of room for negativity and I don't feed into this stuff and I do not do any talking. I don't run my mouth.
basketball running believe
My whole thing is, if you love me, then love me. If you don't, then believe what you hear and run with that.
