"Make no mistake: I've won everywhere I've been.......and I plan to do the same here."

I love him.

The quote that stood out to me from his reading is, "I'm not an offensive or defensive coach. I'm a basketball coach."

Q: What did you like about Tyronn Lue.
A: I like to start off things with a bang and I think we did that... I had the opportunity have several discussions with Tyronn...I had a great feeling about him and got tremendous feedback from others about his knowledge of the game.

Ultimately Blatt was directly involved with bring Lue onboard.

Q: What type of philosophy do you bring to the team?

A: It's always been the same, play hard, play together, play to win and play to have fun. There's not a lot more I can tell you until I sit down with the players and get inside their heads.

I won't come in and run the Princeton-offense just because I ran it before. I'm going to run what's best going to work for us.

Jason Lloyd reported Blatt has already spoken with Kyrie and Blatt feels he has someone he can definitely work with.

I like what he had to say. I wish they would've asked him if he would be a part of the decision making progress at all in the draft or he had any say.

I re-watched part of the press conference and the thing that struck me the most was this quote,

"There are a lot of things about the European game that are easily transferable, but more than anything else and I grew up with this philosophy...the ball has energy, and teams are playing together, and the ball is moving, particularly moving fast, everyone is happy and everyone is playing together."

Spurs did it best all season, they won't a championship.

Move the ball!
