aggressive ball coach far films shows spots wanting watch
I go back and watch films with Coach. He shows me spots when I can disappear, as far as not wanting the ball or not being aggressive or being too passive. If I'm not wanting the ball, I'm not being aggressive. I'm just out there for no reason.
aggressive ball disappear far shows spots wanting watch
I watch film with Coach, and he shows me spots when I do disappear as far as not wanting the ball, not being aggressive and being too passive. They're right. If I'm not wanting the ball and not being aggressive, I am disappearing, and I'm just out there for no reason.

This team is showing a lot more toughness down the stretch. I don't want to say those other games weren't as important. But we know the importance of everything right now. We know we have to fight for everything we get.
