caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.

break good guard job points
Same old, same old - we can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. They had 33 points on the break and could have had 100.
guard
Same old, same old. We can't guard anybody.
energy guard matching
There's no way you can guard if you don't compete. I think they feel like they are competing, we have some who are, but collectively we are not matching the energy of those who we are playing.
guard watching
Marbury was great. I was watching the film - you can't guard better than he guarded.
guard mind needed puts
We needed him to guard and he went back in and guarded. Like I said, when he puts his mind to it, he's an exceptional defender.
against almost front good guard job keeping people plays script trouble
We can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. We have trouble keeping people in front and it's almost like people script plays against us.
guard looked points
It's the same old same old. We can't guard anyone. They got 33 points on the break. It looked like that could have had 100.
fact guard hard phenomenal shooting watching
I've just been watching him all year. He's had phenomenal nights, phenomenal shooting nights. He had it going and the fact is it's hard to guard a lot of these perimeter guards.
defense guard interior learn worse
Our perimeter defense isn't any worse than our interior defense. We want all of them to learn how to guard and have that as a priority.
gave guard highlight plays seven six
There is no way you can guard if you don't compete. We gave up about six or seven plays that will be on highlight film.
ball chance defend figure grind guard hopeful move people score stop value ways
I think we have to figure out ways to stop people first. I always figure if you can guard people you don't have to score as much. I was hopeful we would value the ball a little better. My thing is, who is going to grind it out, defend and have a chance to guard people, and then we'll move on.
chances few figure games generally guard last learn listen preaching share
The last few games you see how many assists we've had, it's been a lot better. If we share the ball, try to guard and try to play hard, you'll generally get something accomplished. I've been preaching that forever. If you want to listen and learn you'll get it. If you don't, chances are you won't figure it out.
