Play from 0:01[0:01]" Although -- haven't but in the I think that's a big part of it gentlemen up our initially who's going to stop -- on the first I've learned. -- do such a great job and Carson boards and things are rude dude it was just because places to -- defense and they through life. On us when our weaknesses and has been over the last week and and I'm involved. -- player would allow more passing especially in the third quarter the fourth quarter knows that I have tons to not go anywhere not a player but -- tough. Regardless of their record and a big win down in. And so we have the very against us things that hadn't ordered closed due to win because that is a good job of passing the ball game layups can -- Then what's important to the -- was and do leave and go from there. But also up -- put a little bit more pressure on. Took away their offensive rebounds for the most part -- that to happen. And although we got our men allow more and executed our stuff we made extra pass in the Senate to have gone gone gone as well before these shots from him just we expand the lead. You know my hat goes off the -- because you know this guy wasn't playing in the number of gangs and -- because of practicing each and every day works hard -- god and in. He got a -- Tony which until the end arsenal play in and the veterans notice but this stuff running out guys -- His name is caught his numbers car he he responded.

Police are -- hard -- player he's. He's a tough rebound and gives you -- rebound and on both hands and posada who are rebound the ball real well and he came in limited action. And did a great job on the rebounding these plays tough and doesn't give up these lives on the defensive end. And Rivera tomorrow and tonight he got a -- and offensive and then delivered I think has a lot to do with the guards and our rotation. You know big men such a great job of helping to guard some penetration that. At times that you caught out of position in the and the -- this the big guys and NRC rebounding. We have to be a little bit tougher on or box now approved the billions of guys. The rebound and evolved because because and help the big thing."

Play from 2:46[2:46]" English at all -- the end game we're just wouldn't go they're put to murder it's very seems to refuse to do well."

Play from 2:59[2:59]" Well I think our strength lies in both units and lived it depends on the match of depends on the games. When we go small we basically four guys spread the court we can penetrate and -- what Kevin that the font well we go big we have a low post presence -- Perkins and Kevin in -- as offensive rebounds so depends on the night I think it depends on the match ups. I don't know coach's -- Sort of more athletic team -- and on top to bottom only bring in guys like Carney and that he assumed him. You know Dalembert and are also having to go -- Williams moderate quick young group. And I'll look at this Tim Wilson have a lot of room to grow they have a lot of talent.
