I think the biggest thing for us is if we can take care of the ball and really guard. Our offense is so connected to our defense. ... We've been struggling a little bit guarding people off the dribble, and I think they have an NBA backcourt.
Not a whole lot of people like us, which is OK. We need to circle the wagons and keep playing. It's like us against the world. Who knows, they may can me, but I'll feel good about what we're doing.
Thomas was going to have a game like this. People are going to key on him. Our other guys are just going to have to develop, they'll have to give him some help.
He's just a good player. He happened to have a slump, particularly shooting the ball, at the first opportunity people had to see him play.
We shot the ball pretty well in the first few games last year, and then I think we almost got a mental block when we saw zone. Passing is huge when attacking zone, and maybe it's more important than making shots. Obviously when you make shots, people don't zone you.
