bad both component gets great hang huge mentally moments players resilience separates shown strength strongest tough weather
When it gets tough right now, we're not the mentally strongest team, and that's at both ends. We just have to be able to weather some bad moments without caving in. We could have shown more resilience to hang around. That's what separates players in this league: mental strength. Mental strength is a huge component to how great you can be.
believe chore function good greatness player team teams
Every team relies on greatness down the stretch. However, I do believe that good teams can function efficiently with or without one player. Our chore to function without the one player is going to be tested.
good player
It's unfortunate that it happened. He's a good player and a good guy, so tomorrow's a new day.
becoming blessed difficult drive easier except good great internal player roads size worked
Yao is not blessed with anything except God-given size and great parents. Everything else has been worked for basketball-wise. There's a lot easier roads to becoming a really, really good player in this league. He had a difficult road, and he made it through his own internal drive to be great.
player team valuable
He's as valuable to his team as any player in the league.
believe chosen coaches fans good great nearly players
If it was me, being chosen by the fans would not be nearly as significant as being chosen by the coaches. Now players may look at that differently, I don't know, but if I was a player ? because there are so many very good ones ? I really do believe being chosen by the coaches is a great honor.
against best good minutes played player time
He had an unexcused lateness so it's unfortunate, but it happens. I think he played his best minutes in a long time against Memphis. It's unfortunate. But he's a good player and a good guy. Tomorrow's another day.
matters offense players shot turned
What matters is that we fouled too much, we turned it over too much, and I think we probably shot in the 20's. We didn't play well enough on offense to win. We have professional players out there, so we have no excuses.
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.
anybody best case certainly hear player talk year
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.
anyone effort energy higher player position
He's a higher energy and effort player than anyone at his position in the league.
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.
basketball expect guys players
These guys are professional guys and they're all professional basketball players so we should expect to play well and play hard.
best explain player road
You can't explain it. He's the best road player in the league.
