Re: Blake coming up on Animal at 4:10
Rough very rough notes
Blake Interview
Injury
Much better, out working out, prepping for next year
Very frustrated, good oppurtinity to watch how people make it through the year of NBA
Day of the life during injury
Wake up
Rehab couple hours
Pratice (lift, free throws)
Lot of free throw practice, hopes to have improved free throws
Did not rush, wasn’t in a rush to start career. Wanted a complete heal and be ready for the season (not have to get re injured).
Blake will be cleared for Summer League, not sure if he will play.
On this past OU season
Did not see it happening, team didn’t click.
Thinks the changes are good for the program
Knows capel is working hard to fix it, getting players he wants and want to be in
Anybody on the team talk to blake?
Willie, Tiny, Tommy, Cade
Blake tried to encourage them
Wanted them to keep it together and they showed signs but they didnt in the long run.
AAU entitlement
Happens a lot now with others be entitled to having X amount of shots, have the ball most the game, etc.
Key to a good team is to have guys who had the attitude to come in and do what the team needs to win which was a big factor in elite 8 team (crock’s D, Taylor and AJ)
Likes Clippers core group (Davis, Gordon, Blake, Kaman, Jordan), good future.
Fantasty Camp in July
Blake will be apart
Winning coach gets a bonus
“Whoever is on my team needs to bring it!”
