Vujacic interview

Here are some interesting comments and observations from Sasha Vujacic on his play and the play of the second unit. He doesn't seem to be trying to sugarcoat anything with his words. He's not happy about his play or the play of the Bench Mob. Anyway, here's what he had to say in his own words the other night in Milwaukee:

"I can't relax. I'm trying to get my rhythm on the floor and stay within the offense. Lately, I've been forcing shots because they're not coming. I've got to wait for the right shots and the right moment. I think we know if we want to win the championship, our second unit must click every game like we did last year, and even better. Last year, we were clicking amazingly and we were not able to win. This year, we've got to give the starters that rest and extend the lead every time.

"When I go on the floor, when we go on the floor, I have it in my mind, 'OK, we're three down, let's give them some cushion, five points up or whatever.' But it's been no secret, we're not doing that. I think we are capable of doing that, but we've got to do better.

"I think I've proved myself. I just want to be on the floor doing the right things, and it starts on defense. I'm going to be trying be a defensive stopper or whatever on the floor who takes the opportunity. People know I can score, so I can be a threat out there. Personally, I don't care (about scoring). That's what I was doing for a long time and you were asking me, 'What's going on? You're not shooting?' I don't really care, as long as we play the right way.

"We're going to have guys playing five minutes or 30 minutes. It changes. It's going to be frustrating, but we're going to have to get used to it. That's the way it is. Sometimes I'm going to have two or three shots a game and sometimes I'm going to have 10 or 15. Last year, I would miss my first three or four shots and hit the next six or seven. Now, I'm thinking four and I'm done, so whatever. No excuses. We're not playing the right way. If we play as a team, we're going to win."
