against good great jersey record second third
I don't know what our record is going against him. I know in Jersey my second and third years, we had a good team. But that doesn't matter. He's still a great coach.

Right now, he looks like the Antonio of old.
coming floor putting ready second soft tells
Right now I'm disappointed because we are not ready to play in the second half. We are coming down the floor like we are down 30 points, putting up threes and not getting into the lane. I thought we were soft on defense, soft on the boards. That tells me we're scared.

beaten changes coming defensive dribble gotten guys help problems year
We made a lot of changes this year and thought we'd gotten much more athletic. I didn't know we were going to have the same problems on the defensive end. Guys are getting beaten off the dribble like drums, and then when the help comes, the other guys aren't coming in.
add healthy houston repertoire stretch
Luckily, it wasn't his ribs. We'll just add that to his repertoire of injuries. He's going to Houston (for All-Star Weekend), I told him to have fun, but be careful, we need him healthy for the stretch run.
