“Our defense has to improve from what it’s been in the first three games. But credit Miami, they played with unbelievable intensity and togetherness and I thought they were clearly the better team”


We’re fouling because they’re getting the ball so deep. The post fouls, they’re just getting it deep and they’re using their strength and size. We’re going to have to not allow the ball to get deep. We’re going to have to figure that out. At the beginning of the year, I thought we guarded with great intensity and we kept the ball out of the paint. We’re not doing as good of a job now at keeping the ball out of the paint. If it gets down there, we’re toast."
