That's been a big problem all year - we haven't had facilitators, guys that move the ball. We need more guys with experience that understand when a guy is open and who can feed the ball to the post.

Man, it was more than words can say. We opened the door and there wasn't anything sitting there.
create double league nice open outside post presence teams trying
Obviously, without Eddy we don't have a post presence. We have to do it on the perimeter a bit. But you know we're trying to get to the rim . . . The whole thing in this league is that when you have a low-post presence, you can create double teams to open up outside shots. If you have a perimeter presence that can penetrate and kick, it's the same situation. It would be nice to have both.

It's a quality win for us on the road. We moved the ball great and got a lot of open shots because we gave the ball up. Controlling the tempo on the road is the way we've got to play ...

We're playing under control a little bit better and not just running up and down the court. When you've got guys like Jalen and Steve who will make the extra pass, it just seems to open it up for everybody. I feel good about everybody's contribution.

(The Hornets) just did a great job of controlling the tempo and finding the open people. We had far too many turnovers and when we had an advantage with size inside we just didn't do a good job.

We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.
