You can't stray far from our formula that we win with, ... A lot of situations where athletically we're a little overmatched, we know we've got to make up for it by defending and hustle.

He is not going to stray far.

If with me you'll fondly stray, / Over the hills and far away.

Personally, I don't think they'll stray too far from that. But if they do, we're going to be prepared, obviously, by what we see in the preseason. It's all we can go on.

I would never commit ahead of time that he wasn't going to play. I would hate to tell somebody they're not going to play or their minutes would be limited, then all of a sudden 6 minutes into the game put him out there. That wouldn't be fair. I think it's better that he stayed ready, but unfortunately he didn't get in.

We were soft. It's baffling.
