beings coming defense fastest human parker pressure puts tony
Tony Parker is probably one of the fastest human beings in the world. He puts so much pressure on the defense when he is coming at you.
goal good half job minutes putting second together
We did a good job in the first half, but in the second half I thought we were a little lax. Putting together 48 minutes is our goal from here on out ... that has been the story of our whole year.
trade
We could've benefited from it, but we made a different trade.
heck job
Bracey did a heck of a job down the stretch. He was more comfortable and I think he relaxed.
couple mark onto steps switch
We wanted Mark Blount to switch onto James. But we didn't want him to get up into him. Mark got a couple steps too close.

Well, he's coming along. He's letting his play do his talking now. He's just matured as a young man and matured to the NBA game. His approach and his work habits are far, far ahead of where he was at the beginning of the year.
coming confidence excellent execute game rhythm start
Tonight, we had an excellent start to the game. But you have to play the game the right way. You have to execute for 48 minutes, because if you don't, you don't have the confidence and the rhythm coming down the stretch.
against capable coming games level night prepare rest tough
I don't differentiate between Orlando, Miami, nobody. We've got tough games coming up the rest of the season. We have to prepare and play at the level we know we're capable of, which I didn't think we did the other night against Orlando.

I'd like to see what the game brings. We're going in trying to win the game. I'm not going out trying to have a tryout. We'll do that Sunday in practice.
quality shots takes walk
I'd like to see if he can get up 20 shots. You can't just walk through that and get that many shots up, quality shots. To get 20 quality shots, it takes work.
best coming hurt looking phoenix playing ready recognize saw small tonight transition
One thing that hurt us tonight was our transition defense. They were playing a small lineup and we didn't recognize that they were coming down and looking for the 3-point line. If you're not ready to get back in transition, it's going to be a long night. We saw the best of Phoenix tonight.
chance couple next sniff
If we do have a chance or a sniff of making the playoffs, we've got to do it in the next couple weeks.
came heart minutes situations superstar
My heart came up into my throat. That's why you only play your superstar between 20 and 25 minutes in the preseason. Those are situations you want to avoid.

Nobody should be happy with the way we're playing right now, from Mr. Taylor all the way on down to our video guy.
