    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"Kevin is more straight-to-the-point and simplified," Garnett said. "He knows how to attack the defense and make sure that guys like LeBron [James] and Vince [Carter] stay in their place. Flip is a little more strategic. He wants to consolidate the basketball court and avoid mismatches. You really can't even compare the two styles. Flip didn't play in the league and Kevin played in the league, so it is a little different."

    So is the feeling around the team, Garnett said. What a difference a week makes.

    "I can't really put my hand on it," Garnett said. "It's just different. When Kevin stepped in there, I think he grabbed everybody's attention. He's 6-10, he demands attention, he has a presence. He's a top-50 player, he's won. It would be no different than Phil Jackson coming in with his formula. ... He teaches a lot more. We practice longer, but it's more of a teaching and more of a classroom. .... It's like a breath of fresh air right now."
