    Nice to see Quick back. Some quotes from the insightful article:

    “Nothing he is presenting us, or putting us through, or wanting from us is on just the surface level,” Lillard said. “I think that’s also a part of the adjustment for us as a team: it requires us to think as a team and understand why we are doing what we are doing and the purpose behind a lot of these things. So, I would say tactically, he is sharp. Very present in that way.”

    “For it to work, it has to have some carryover to the team, we have to be able to follow that,” Lillard said. “Otherwise, it’s just him as a sharp thinker and him a sharp coach. We have to have some carryover. We have to put it on the floor.”

    “I think we need to just think less,” Lillard said “I think in the games we’ve been thinking too much. We’ve been kind of a mental case as a team, instead of just playing the game as we know it to be.”

    “Rip City Nation, you’ve got to be patient a little bit,” Hart continued. “We’re new. But we are a group of competitive guys that want to be successful. And you know, we are going to make sure that Rip City is proud to come out and support.”
