They're probably one of the best shooting teams in the league. They usually hit a lot of those shots that they were missing. We try to take a couple things away. Take a couple guys out of their sweet spots. Still, they've got guys that can knock it down. So we haven't seen their best punch yet. But I don't think they've seen our best yet, either.
They're a good team, a lot better than the way they played this year. Of course they beat us already. I think they match up pretty good with us. They have a good mix. They're definitely a team we might have to see down the road some time.
They haven't gotten off to the start they wanted, but this game doesn't mean the moves are not going to work. We'll see down the line. We can't answer that question now.
That's what we're focusing on, just keep it moving. Keep moving, try to take care of home court and stay healthy in the process.
That's what we're about. Our offense is good, and we got a lot of great offensive players. But our defense - that's what we're known for. That's what we do.
That's just not me. I'm a scoring point guard. I'm always looking to make plays for people, but it's not my first instinct.
That's just crazy. I can't even fathom that. Wow.
That's going to be crazy. That's like a dream.
That's going to be a major boost, to get Lindsey back and get Dale going, to play him some more minutes. He played some great minutes in Indiana. To have them two really adds a new dimension to our team.
That's how we beat people, with strength in numbers. That's the way we play. So many different options, so many guys that can hurt you.
That's how we beat people. We know there is strength in numbers. We go into games not knowing where we are going to attack. We see how the flow is and we go. Teams can't prepare to stop one or two guys, man. We've got too many weapons.
That's how we beat people. We always know there's strength in numbers, and that's why we play the way we do.
They do like that strategy. But they're 0-2 with that strategy.
They fought. I give them a lot of credit. We had to grind it out.
