James spoke to the team before practice, hoping to set the tone for the day and make the adjustment easier for the former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach.

James delivered a simple message, saying, “We’ve got to build our habits and character now, and we've always got to protect each other.”

Love also spoke to his new teammates on the eve of camp, stressing the need to keep all outside influences as far away as possible.

“I told them we’re in this thing together and we can’t let anybody else in our circle,” Love said. “It has to be a fox-hole mentality where we take care of one another at all times.”
