I think (the style of play) is working for us right now. The dynamics are there, we just have to keep from getting selfish and keep playing the right way.
"Scot L. Pollard" is a retired American professional basketball player. In an eleven-year NBA career, he played for five teams, spending the bulk of his career with the Sacramento Kings and the Indiana Pacers. Pollard was known both for his defensive play and his unique hairstyles.
Pollard was born in Murray, Utah, and grew up in San Diego and Kennewick, Washington. He attended the University of Kansas and was the 19th pick of the 1997 NBA Draft, selected by the Detroit Pistons. For every season except his first and last, Pollard appeared in the NBA Playoffs including in the 2007 NBA Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He won a championship in his final season (2007–08) with the Boston Celtics.
He currently resides in Carmel, Indiana with his wife Dawn, and 3 children.

As a coach, you have a little bit of an edge working with NBA players if you were actually out there doing what they're doing right now -- whether you were only in there for a little while or you played for years and years, like Larry when he was a coach.
I think all our guys helped box out tonight and that was the key to the game.
That's the way it's been historically, so I don't think that's going to change.
He knows what's going to happen out there because his attention to detail is so great. Because he has great control of the game, ... as long as you're not turning the ball over and doing stupid stuff, ... you've got a good chance to win almost every game. We keep the score low, defend well, and that's the Rick Carlisle style. That's why he's in the playoffs all the time.
In-season trades are just family-killers.
It seems like he believes that's just a waste of time or emotion. He just comes in and says what he has to say in a very cool, casual way.
A lot of us were alive when he did -- not like some other coaches.
