"You play good basketball in one of two ways. One, you have very good players who go out and play very hard. Or two you have guys who are limited but are very smart. Of course there is a lot of crossover and players are on continuum between the two extremes. But the fact is we are not getting any better, so we have to get smarter. That is our problem. We aren't going to get any smarter with the kids we are currently playing. Some of them are just never going to be smart players; it is not in them; they aren't going to change. Once you start thinking for your players, it is the beginning of the end."
