It's the little things
June 15, 2006The worst thing about losing a game you have won, like the Mavericks did on Tuesday in Game 3, is that it's all the little things.
A bad pass.
A missed free throw.
One blown assignment.
A coach going to the stall a couple minutes too early.
But it's the little things that win in sports at the highest level.
Dallas has quickness, but it's not day and night different than another NBA team.
Nobody matches Shaq's power, but Dallas is neutralizing it OK.
But the little things are why we practice from youth leagues on up. Great talent plus attention to the little things equals great accomplishments.
The team doing the most little things wins. And I hate boring cliches.
