Dan had a lot of injuries last season, and we hope he remains healthy this year because he could be one of the better defensemen in the league, ... Evan has improved defensively, and it is a brand new year for the guys on our defense.

I think he impacts games defensively, for us, more than any other player in baseball affects the game at their respective position,
|
We played our best game of the year defensively and showed great patience on offense.
|
They came out and they zoned up and they trapped and they doubled, and we just continued to move the ball. It took me three quarters to kind of get the rhythm down on what they were trying to do defensively so I could go into attack mode in the fourth quarter.

He probably came back in the best condition of any of our guys. He had some success last year and wanted to build on that. He's matured. He likes the offensive stuff we do. And defensively we give him some freedom to show his athletic ability.

Defensively, the intent and trust has improved. And obviously, Vince Carter has risen his game to a higher level and Richard (Jefferson) and Jason (Kidd) have been very consistent and we're getting contributions from the bench.
|
I was really impressed with the energy and effort that our kids brought here this evening. I was very pleased with the way we played defensively.
|
Thou shall not steal. I mean defensively. On offense, thou shall steal and thou must.
|
The team played very well. They played very nicely defensively and we got timely hitting.
|
I'm a running coach and I am going to continue to run, but I would hope that we are better defensively.
|
I think they got the momentum from last game. They just came out a lot stronger and we definitely saw that defensively.
