brings cannot great guys last passion results rode shoot shooting wave
We cannot shoot the ball. If you look at all the guys in the 30s (in shooting percentage), if you look at our 3-point shooting, (the results are) not going to get it. Last year, we rode the wave of great shooting. That brings passion and energy. When you're not shooting well in today's NBA, it's very deflating.
ball last shooting shot
Obviously, our shooting is not good. It's been a season-long thing where we haven't shot the ball well from (long) range, and that's set us back. It's one of the things we did well last year.
fight found last liked minutes resolve six spirit
We were caving in and then I thought they found a spirit and a resolve in the last six minutes defensively. I liked our fight in the last six minutes.
found last resolve six spirit
We were caving in and I thought they found a spirit and resolve in the last six minutes.
anyone centered despite excuses finding good happened last locker minimize results room season tracy versus year
Our season has centered around a lot of excuses about what we don't have and what's happened versus finding results despite what has happened. That's not to minimize how good Tracy is, certainly. Yet I feel we could have responded better. Take Yao out of the picture. Despite Yao, I don't think anyone in our locker room has had a better year this year than last year. That's on me, and that's on them.
allen arenas body far gets last neither package size tape teaching team
I think in the last quarter, neither team would use it on a teaching tape for defense. I know Gilbert Arenas gets credit, but he's Allen Iverson in a different package as far as body size and strength. He's competitive. He's quick. He attacks. He makes 3s.
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.
active boards expect good great last playing rebound second three
We can expect much better from (Yao) defensively and on the boards. He had one rebound in the second half, and he was not active defensively. He's been playing great on offense, really great, and he's not been as good on the boards or defensively in the last three games.
caught clock definitely father last remains time totally turn whether year
Has Father Time totally caught up to him? Dikembe has definitely slowed down from last year to this year and whether he can turn back the clock remains to be seen.
boston game games given last ourselves prior represents road standards team trip
We have to get a team that represents what our standards are. On the road trip and the Boston game prior to that, we represented ourselves well. In the last two games we have given very, very little to the game, to each other and to the organization.
course last midway year younger
Midway through their year last year, they set a course for how they want to go, which was younger and quicker,
finishing fought harder last problems street turned
We still have the same problems we had last spring: one-on-one defense; pick-and-roll defense; (we're a) high-turnover team; when it turned into a street fight, they fought harder than we did; and can we finish? Right now, we're not a finishing team. That's on me, that nothing's improved.
ability against chance games hard last near obviously parts played player shooting team
I know we haven't played well enough or near hard enough the last two games to play well enough to have a chance against two first-place teams, and obviously not well enough from a shooting standpoint. But every player and every team is going to go through the ability to make or miss. That's why you need to have other parts of your game that are consistent, individually and as a team.
