00:00 [KNOCKING]
00:01 Welcome.
00:02 Hey, how you doing?
00:05 Coach, beginning of the regular season,
00:07 the minute restrictions and the gloves come off, so to speak.
00:10 What are you hoping to see?
00:12 What are your goals for this new offense?
00:15 The goal is for us to go out and look at what's on paper
00:21 and throw that out the window, throw it in the trash.
00:25 And let's focus on in between the lines
00:27 and being minutely tough, executing,
00:31 communicating on both ends of the floor,
00:33 and playing to our standards and making sure
00:38 that we develop our identity.
00:40 Taylor Jenkins was just saying they're
00:42 going to be forced to play smaller tonight
00:43 with the injuries they're going into the season with.
00:45 Is there a way you can use your bigs
00:47 tonight to create more mismatches?
00:50 I think just the way the NBA is going in general
00:53 is teams are playing more small, small, faster.
00:57 And we'll look at opportunities that we can take advantage
01:02 of JV in the post.
01:03 And we'll also look at times where
01:07 we want to play fast as well.
01:09 And not necessarily matching their lineups,
01:14 but just something that we've been working on internally
