“He said, ‘I want you to teach the play’,” Robinson said, according to NBA.com. “It’s kind of different. I’m teaching K.G. [Kevin Garnett], Ray [Allen], Paul [Pierce], Sheed [Rasheed Wallace]. I’m like, ‘Wow, this is awesome.’
“It’s something I can tell my kids one day.”
GOING BIG
D’Antoni is going with a big lineup against Detroit, starting 6-6 Bill Walker over 6-3 Sergio Rordriguez at the point and Al Harrington over Wilson Chandler (personal reasons). 6-8 Tracy McGrady will start at point guard.
D’Antoni said the goal was to get bigger and rebound more.
“That’s the idea, whether it’s a good idea we’ll all find out together. It doesn’t really change a whole lot, I just want to look at it, experiment with the big lineup,” D’Antoni said.
