The reason we shouldn’t pursue balance is that the magic never happens in the middle; magic happens at the extremes.

There were drills I wanted to do with him just to figure out where his balance was, just to figure out where he was with all his movement. There were some drills he didn't like, and some he liked. We tried to use the drills he liked to help him get to another stage in his swing. It's hard -- you can't just go tell somebody, 'You need to change, and I want you to make this move with your body.' It's very, very hard physically to get guys in the right position. The first thing you're going to want to do is revert back to your old habits.

It's very useful. We have never had to deal with an extreme situation - we don't have a railroad, but we do have lots of tankers come through our area. But it's good to refresh our information and learn new techniques, in case something does come up.

Your idea of that dish has evolved, and if you're a cook, you can start thinking in different ways about it, maybe even a different way than I think about it.

We played very well. It was close early, but we pulled away down the stretch. We had very good balance and I thought it was a very good game.

That's nice balance. Four guys in double figures and another with nine. Derek had eight assists, too.
