Did he really say that? He's a funny guy.

My theory is that they don't have a switch, but a really iffy pull start.

I think it's a couple bare wires that they connect and try to hold together with one of Ben's old headbands.

I always believed that if Chauncey could get Ben's old red framed glasses....and wear them in a game....that would flip the switch.

I think I better get these rotations set in the next few games.

He'd look quite a bit like Elton John.

That would be cute and sweet.

POST UP!!! POST UP!!!

Written on the white board before game #6.

Pretty sure this one doesn't need a translation. He went with the obvious strategy to avoid turnovers and long rebounds and to also make sure that we had defenders ready to stop the fast break.

It didn't seem like they actually followed this advice a lot, but I think it was a good idea anyway.

They probably didn't even notice that it was written up there.

“Anything another team wants to do to keep us woken up a little bit, I don’t mind that,” Saunders said. “… Any time there’s a little bit extra, that’s OK with me.”

Translation: "I've never really been all that good at providing the type of motivation that makes guys wanna go out and run through a wall for me. Heck, most of the time, my players don't even realize that I'm here. They're always forgetting my name or calling me 'Larry'.
Anyway, I appreciate the added motivation that Orlando is giving my team. - It helps!"
