credit figure player plays
But he's aggressive. You've got to give him credit for that. He's a young player who plays real hard. He's got to figure it out, and we've got to figure out where he can play.
andre blocked coming ended help miller paying reaction sequence stuff though three
That sequence (with the three consecutive blocked shots), even though they ended up scoring, and Yao coming to help on Andre Miller ? those things are inspiring. And you can tell by the reaction of everybody, the team, the paying customers, that stuff is inspiring.
division happy matter means team time whether win zero
That means zero because it doesn't matter who we win against, whether it is a division team or not. We are happy any time we win.

I hear the talk about the best player in the league. You can certainly make the case he's having the best year of anybody in this league.
best career carving chance energy himself vocal
I haven't had any conversations with anyone, so expending vocal energy on that is of no significance. This may be his best chance at carving out a career for himself in the NBA.
bench played
I played my bench too much in that quarter.
best center few guys hard outside plays prepared question surprised works
I'm not surprised when (Yao) plays well. He is prepared every day. He works hard every day. He's one of the few guys who doesn't need outside motivation. He is without question the best regular-season center in basketball.
best harder lead league
They lead the league in field-goal defense, so you have to give them credit. They made it harder on our best players.
fan tough watch
If you're a fan that comes a lot, it's tough to watch right now.
hard team tracy
If you have Tracy McGrady on your team and play really hard and smart, you can be in games.
burden capable good huge obviously shoulders tonight
I didn't think Yao was particularly as good tonight as he has been. There's obviously a huge burden on his shoulders right now, but we're capable of making (shots) and we didn't tonight.
against easy forget four good uninspired winning won
Because of how uninspired we were against the Lakers, it's easy to forget we won four in a row. Winning tonight, we did some real good things.
ball gotten organized played shooting timely trying
He played well. He hasn't been shooting the ball well, so it was timely he made shots. I think he's consistently gotten better in trying to keep us organized offensively.
decide feels good says
If he says he feels good enough, I'll decide if I feel good enough about how he feels.
