believing easy five guys josh lock locking noise point run smith trying
I think Marvin and Josh Smith are going to make some noise because they can do so many things. If they can get out and run and make some easy buckets they'll be fine. I just have to get them to the point where they can lock down defensively. If we can get five guys locking in and believing in what we're trying to do, we'll be all right defensively.

We were down seven coming back after the half, and Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson hadn't sniffed a lick. You figure if you got those two guys going we've got a legitimate shot, but we just fell in the tank in the third quarter.

That's terrible. We don't have any problems with our young guys that are out of the ordinary. None of our guys are bad kids and everybody on this team comes to work every day ready to go. . . . Our camp is just fine. As the head coach, I've got everything under control.

No matter who we play or who is in uniform for us, they have competed. I tip my hat to my guys because they never quit. That's the sign of a team that is still hungry, even though we're not playing for anything.
best example excited guys lead

It's coming down the stretch, but I can't let these guys stop playing. They have to keep competing.
