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.
best home run
We withstood their run and we were able to counter. You always want to do your best at home.
coming court excuse fast figure flying jump opposed problem run shape shoot taking
That's never an excuse because that's what we are. We'll run into shape as the preseason continues. For a lot of us who shoot a lot of jump shots, it's different when you're flying up and down the court as fast as we are as opposed to coming down and taking a second. It'll take some adjustments but it wasn't a problem (Friday). We'll figure it out.
floor good high knocked nice percentage playing running shoot understand
Its always nice to shoot a high percentage but I think we have to understand why we were able to shoot a high percentage - our floor spacing was awesome, we were running the floor and really playing unselfish. You're not going to shoot that well every night, we got to understand why we knocked them down, and that's a good thing to take away from the game.
crashing offensive pace run
We can play the same pace we want, but some of that has to do with them (the Wizards) just crashing the offensive glass. You can't run if you can't get a rebound.
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.
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.
game imposed speed
We imposed our will on the speed of the game which is what we need to do to win.
chris expected game slower work
We expected the game to be slower without him. We thought that they would try to work Chris Webber a little bit.
far green light lights
Do we have the green light here? As far as green lights go, it's about as green as you can get.
