Somebody asked Stan Van Gundy the day before training camp opened last September what his goal for the season was. If the questioner expected an answer that involved predicting a playoff berth or X number of wins, he was sorely disappointed in the answer.
"I want to get them to run back on defense tomorrow in a scrimmage. That's it. That's my No. 1 priority tomorrow. If you want the team goals, that's it. That on Tuesday, September 30th, we run back on defense consistently. Then we build from there.
