not quite the quantum leap that the press release would have you walk away with.

This is a topic that has been covered a lot in the press over the last 3 or 4 years. But past reports were based on anecdote rather than fact. For the first time, we have some data that helps shed light on this subject.

We weren't able to execute our press break at all. On the inbounds, we haven't played any team that guarded us man-to-man. That gave us some trouble getting the ball in.

I like to press all game, but we haven't been able to because it wears you out. Next year, with a little depth, we should be able to run up and down the floor. [Point guard] T.J. Parker , he's a little blur, but you have to have someone to throw to. Mike gets up and down the court, and when he gets around the basket, he can score.

I don't know what it looked like from the press box, but from where I was standing, it looked like we were man-handling the line of scrimmage.

There's no secret. You just press the accelerator to the floor and steer left.
