After the best scrimmage of camp the day before, the Clippers didn't execute well in their final practice Monday at the College of the Desert. The result was the reality of a young team blending a number of new players with a new coach. ``It wasn't as good as I would have liked,'' Gentry said of the practice. ``I thought we lost our concentration a little bit. I think we still had good effort, but we've got to start playing a little bit smarter basketball and I don't think we did that today. We've got a young team and things like this are going to happen.'' Throughout the seven-day training camp, Gentry stressed that molding this team was going to be a slow process. The process has taken longer than even Gentry anticipated. |
