00:13 one of the reasons they didn't lose at this level is because their organizations are making a

00:16 cognizant decision to try and help them win games. They haven't been doing that in San Antonio.

00:21 They're screwing around with the point guard and putting Jeremy Sohan there, who's really a forward.
