So we take a lot of pride in that. It's really on us to turn this thing around. I think this last month we've done just that. We've pointed ourself in the direction that we want to be, and I think we're starting to head towards that. Right now we're in a nice rhythm.

I'm like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. If I'm not ready, the sled isn't going to go.

I've never been an individual guy. I never cared about the accolades. I've always been driven by the competition and the learning process.

So you're dealing with a coach, and you're dealing with a guy who's actually experienced NBA basketball from a player's perspective and actually goes about it that way.

This is it. It's for all the marbles. I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16s, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war.

Coaching takes patience. I'm more enthused when teaching players who want it versus when I have to.
