jumping played
We played a very soft, non-contact game. We had Wilcox jumping over us the whole game.
air badly balls miss nba poor range rectify seen shooting team
We have to rectify so many things on offense. We're a high-turnover team now, which is No. 1. Secondly, we're a very poor shooting team from all areas, from 2-point range, 3-point range and the free-throw line. We shoot more air balls now on the perimeter than any team ? I've never seen any NBA team miss as badly as we do.
depends hope keeps
It depends on who the one is. We hope he keeps improving.
depends
It depends on what you want to do. If that's your focus, you can do it.
les luxury mistakes salary situations tax
I think Les has even said it. The luxury tax is our salary cap. The thing that's different in the situations is that you can't make mistakes in our situation with who you sign.
aggressive assertive percentage shoot shots win
I thought (McGrady) was doing that right before he was hurt, being very aggressive and assertive but more efficient, and getting Yao more shots so that we can shoot a percentage that can win in this league.
chances
We can still win. Obviously, your chances are better when you have your better players.
beginning came couple fortunate good miss percentage quarter ready simple third
We came out ready to play in the third quarter. We were fortunate that they had a couple second-chance opportunities at the beginning of the quarter that they missed. Sometimes it's that simple - make or miss - and we made a good percentage tonight.
believe coming compete defense fame few hall hard harder offense talks tricks
Hard playing, very few mistakes, no tricks coming at you ? they're just going to compete harder on defense than you're going to play on offense and (be) ultra prepared. No one talks about it, but I think without question, when all is said and done, he is a Hall of Fame coach. I really believe that with all my heart.
fairly good lower proven
He's a fairly intelligent player. He's undersized. He's got pretty good feet. At the lower levels, he's proven he can rebound.
trying winning
You know what? It's about winning in this league. It's not about trying - that should be a given.
credit difficult gets great last quickness
I don't think Yao gets the credit defensively for the improvements he's made in lateral quickness and mobility. He's made great strides. That last play, he was up and out and made (Richardson) take a much more difficult shot.
credit defensive difficult gets improvement last
I don't think Yao gets enough credit for the defensive improvement he's made. That last play he went up and out and made (Richardson) take a much more difficult shot.
disagree hard hate lighter steve weight worked
I don't think it's a fact, actually, ... I think he's the same weight that he has been, and the lighter for him has been the better. When he's been able to keep his weight about 305 (pounds), I think he's better served. But he has worked hard to be stronger. I hate to disagree with Steve once again, but so be it.
