atlanta continued god help point prayer situation taking team upset

against capable careful guys knew milwaukee playing points
I don't think that playing Milwaukee ... is going to be easy. I think we knew that going in, and especially with Milwaukee because they've got guys that are capable of getting 40 points against us. We just have to be careful with them and take care of home-court.
court defense exciting guys help helps offense smaller
I've been back there with smaller guards. It's exciting because you have two guys that can play defense and really get the offense going. Lindsey's experienced and it helps me out when I'm on the court because he can help me with the plays.

Billy enforced it from the beginning and got it going. Now we have to maintain it. I can't say guys didn't gripe about it, but we're managing. It just means you have to spend a little more money on suits instead of jeans.

The real season is on its way and about to begin, so everybody's excited about that. The last two or three games have been kind of tough to get up for, but you still got to go out there and be a professional and play, and it gave the young guys an opportunity to get experience.

It really is (tough). It's one of the things where you come in the game and you have to try and pickup the same intensity, but it takes guys like us a little while to get going because those guys out there, they're in a rhythm.
