act best brass burning crown deep discipline fire games guys inside knew looking type wrong
There's nothing wrong if you're not my type of guy, but I think guys should have the fire burning inside them. I always knew what games to get up for. I can read. I knew who was who. There's a discipline in me. I take a deep breath. Do I need to act out? Or is there another way. I'm not looking for a crown or brass ring. I just look to get the best out of each player.

We've been looking at all the contracts from day one. One concern is whether you are getting the fair market value. The second is whether the people we are giving contracts to are the best qualified.

Looking at it right from the top, it looks like we should have switched spots. But I'm not going to sit and whine about it because there are a lot of teams sitting home that would love to be in our position.

We just stayed out of trouble all day and tried to keep the fenders on that thing. We were right there in the top-10. That was just Skinner luck.
ball drive patient settle strength
We weren't patient enough. We settled. There were some opportunities on the perimeter, but you don't have to settle for the shot. You can still drive the ball to the basket. That's the strength of our club.
flat game good lead played
We went flat and started coasting after the 7-1 lead after two innings. But I thought we played pretty good for the first game of the season.

We try to change it up, the way we play defense during the game.
challenge expected good great proved
We expected them to give us a good game. I thought this would be a great challenge for us, and that proved to be correct.

We're disturbed by that. You want to go out and respect the opponent and respond to that. We didn't take it as a challenge. We just went with the flow. Quite honestly, the game's over. We have to get ready for league play.
fire flow zone
It was the recognition in our zone offense. It comes in the flow of the game. It's not like we want to come down and fire up threes.
