James Borrego on opportunity to reset, defensive focus | New Orleans Pelicans
more defensive work defensive, especially in transition, things like that. We’re primarily all defense today. All defense for an hour and a half. You feel like these guys are picking things up? We’re a work we’re a work in progress. We’re a work in progress and u just got to keep hammering every day, every game, every shoot around, every timeout. It’s got to become a a habit and uh a pride and a focus for us. And that’s not going to change. It may not. It’s not going to happen in game one, but when it happens, I don’t know. I can’t tell you that. But we’re not going to stop working on it. How did pool look today? You look good. And JB about um we’ve always talked about what you guys need to do on the court. This upcoming practice time was going to be very beneficial, it feels like, for this team. But how much of a good thing it is for this team to have that mental reset, right? starting off three and 22 based on last year too, but just getting away from playing games basically a mental reset where you’re playing two games I think in nine days. You feel like it was necessary. It’s necessary if you approach it the right way, you know? Um so you’re not relaxing. You’re you’re the focus has to be on getting better. And how do we do that? So, it’s a little bit of a mental um you know, let down in some ways, like you can let let your guard down cuz you’re not playing as many games at this moment. But for us right now, we got to amp up our mentality more than anything. It’s like now’s a go time for us. We can’t relax in the moment. Um I kind of wish we were playing games in some ways to get right back at it, but we’re going to use this time to our benefit and work and get better. Um, I think our guys are there. You know, it gives them a little reset. Body can reset a little bit too and get ready for uh, you know, game time tomorrow. Good.
