“For bigs that are going to switch on me, I can get whatever shot I want and if a small is going to be on him, he can literally stand over and shoot the ball.
“Like Doc [Rivers] said, we’re going to be a duo to be reckoned with.We’re just steadily getting our momentum going, getting our legs up under us, getting our camaraderie better.”
