defense double kurt position post puts
We have to double the post now. When you have Kurt down there, you don't have to do that. It makes you have to rotate and puts you out of position on defense and for rebounds.

We withstood their run and we were able to counter. You always want to do your best at home.

We imposed our will on the speed of the game which is what we need to do to win.

We expected the game to be slower without him. We thought that they would try to work Chris Webber a little bit.

I think everybody knows who's going to show up. I think he's going to come out and be more aggressive. There's no guesswork involved with that. We've seen that four times this year and every other game he's played. So we game-planned it. We'll do what we need to do to get another win at home.
against game involved seen
I think he's going to come out and be more aggressive. There's no guesswork involved there. We've seen it in every other game against him this season.
