fast guard guys hard helps high last played since tempo time
That tempo was as high and fast as we've been since the last time we played them. That tempo helps us. It's hard to guard guys when they're in transition. We weren't able to do it either.
bait full guy head last minute step taking
You see a guy and kind of bait him into taking that drive. Then at the last minute you step in there and they already have a full head of steam.
aggressive assume certain expect guys involved kobe last looking sure trying
I would assume the more aggressive Kobe will be out. I'm sure he'll be trying to still get other guys involved to a certain degree, but I expect him to be looking for his more than last game.
definitely excited healthy last piece puzzle ready sure
We're excited about what we have already, but we feel getting that last piece of the puzzle will put us over the hump. We want to make sure that he's healthy and ready to give us everything he can give us. We're definitely excited to get him back in the lineup, without a doubt.
last rules structured utah within
The last two years in Utah were a lot more methodical, a lot more structured with rules within that structure.
allowed guy pushes pushing
I'm pushing, pushing the guy as much as I can to get him a little. So when he pushes me, you're not allowed to do that. I'm going to fall.
best felt reinvent weather
The best thing is we never felt down about anything. We just weather it and reinvent ourselves.
add elated great opportunity whatever
I'm elated to have an opportunity to come there and play with that cast. I think I can add to an already great team. I just want to come in and help, whatever it takes.
ball fit gets jones plays runs shoots system
I'm a big Jones supporter. Every year, he gets better. I think he can fit right into the system because he plays different positions, shoots the ball well and runs well.
involved until
I hadn't been involved in too many like this until I got here.
ball incredible movement open transition wide
It was one of those nights. We were able to get out on transition and the ball movement was incredible so everyone got wide open looks.
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.
best home run
We withstood their run and we were able to counter. You always want to do your best at home.
game imposed speed
We imposed our will on the speed of the game which is what we need to do to win.
