This is our seventh game in seven different cities in 10 days. This has been a rough stretch and I think the common thing that has happened to us the last three games is that our shooting percentage in the second half is going down, which is usually a sign of dead legs.

When you play great ones, it's the team assignment. You have to make him a volume scorer. You can't let him get 30 points on 18 shots. What you want to is keep him out of the free-throw line, make him take a lot of shots if you can.

It's about efficiency and how many points we're scoring per possession, not so much how you get them. It goes back to my egg theory. If it's hard on the outside, usually it's soft on the inside. Right now, people have been playing us soft on the outside and trying to protect the middle a little more. When teams start defending us harder on the outside, you will see us go back inside more.
