buffalo confident crowd environment execute hostile players tough type
We need to be confident in a hostile environment. That Buffalo crowd can get to you, and we want our players to play with confidence. We need to execute our offense, and sometimes that's tough to do with the type of environment their crowd creates.
allow easy high presents shoots
Leon Williams, in the middle, presents a problem. He can score, and he shoots a high percentage. We can't allow him to have a 20-point ballgame. We can't give him easy shots.

We've got a lot of guys coming back, but they've got to get better.

basically book deal easy good helps pass saying spells teammates
What it's basically saying is that most of us want to pass things on, but our accountability is very, very important. It's easy to read and spells out everything. I think it's a good book for sports, because it helps you deal with what can I do and what can I do to make my teammates better.
