He's become like a coach on the court.

He was set in his ways. He was stubborn.

It's no longer about him and his shooting. It's about the team and defense.

Coach had been talking all week about how we had to keep them off the glass and put a body on them. The deeper we go the more intensity we can bring.

I was very shocked at that. If there's trouble, he's the head coach. Who is supposed to stem it?

We had a great preseason. The guys responded with what coach (George Karl) wanted early on in pace of the game, togetherness and defensive intensity. We've improved in those areas with a couple of setbacks, but we've improved each game.
