Dan's high school used to have this shirt that said 'organized chaos,' and that's pretty much what it is. There's a method to what we're doing, and Steve is great at reading situations and creating opportunities for guys. |
Eddie House missed some shots that he's going to make. I thought he did a good job (running the offense). He's got to slow himself down a bit and let people get into position. |
Every night, you can pencil in 20 and 10, and now all of a sudden you can pencil in 25 and 11. That's a pretty big jump for a guy that's already putting up massive numbers. |
For the most part, you just have to fight through it mentally. Once you do that, you can deal with the physical part. . . . But I think Mike really has a great feel for when guys really need to work and when they need to save their legs. That helps us tremendously. |
I don't know if there's another guy that you could say 'Well, he guarded Yao Ming and then the next night he guarded Tony Parker. I don't know if there's anyone who asks a guy on their team to do as much as we ask Shawn to do. |
It's tough to throw over Shawn Marion. If you throw it over Shawn Marion, you're probably throwing it out of bounds. |
Or Rip comes off and finds Chauncey Billups right here. |
They'd come in and he'd already have a full sweat going. He definitely set a tone going into training camp. |
