bumps great league playing road saw sit tonight
There's going to be some bumps in the road certainly. You don't sit out that long in this competitive of a league and make it back the you were playing before. You saw tonight he started out great and then he couldn't make (shots).
best chance efficient energy guys obviously starts team tonight tracy
It starts always with the two best guys (Yao and McGrady) and their energy level. Tracy McGrady obviously was very efficient tonight and when he is efficient, we as a team have a better chance of being efficient.
bit bounce drove looked nice obviously struggled tonight
Tracy's obviously struggled and I thought tonight he had a little bit more of a bounce to his step. I thought he drove it and made some nice plays. I thought he looked better.
boards tonight
Yao on the boards tonight was a monster.
ball care certainly good guys hard lose shoot themselves tonight
I don't care how hard you play, if you don't shoot the ball competently, you're going to have a hard time. We do just enough good to lose close. That's what we've been all season. It's mind-boggling. I know some of our guys killed themselves out there tonight and while that should certainly be complimented, this is about winning.
basketball capable dead inspiring playing tonight water
I know what inspiring basketball is. When we're dead in the water and we're not playing the way we're capable of, I'm going to say that. But tonight we were very inspiring.
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.
good tracy
When we have Yao (Ming) and Tracy (McGrady), we're a good team. It's pretty simple.
both cause chris difficult doubly guards guys multiple paul point team together trying
(With their) team speed, in general, they cause us some problems. When they play both point guards ( Chris Paul and Speedy Claxton ) together it makes it doubly difficult to try and keep them out of the lane, because you've got two guys who are trying to catch-and-go or pick-and-roll, multiple pick-and-rolls.
effort gave good talk
We're just not a good team. We can talk about it, but we're just not. Tonight, we gave a professional effort and yet an inefficient one.
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.
ball basket chest defense fall four good happened missing normally offensive ourselves pound remember row score shots team three understand
When you score that little in a quarter, it's probably part defense and part you're missing some shots that you normally make. So we're not going to pound ourselves on the chest because I remember three or four they had right in a row at the basket over our midgets where the ball just happened to fall out. We try to play good defense yet we understand how good of an offensive team they are.
defense fourth missing score
When you score that little in a fourth quarter, it's usually part defense and part just missing some shots.
capable concur doctors feels playing
When he feels like he's capable of playing and the trainers and doctors concur and I concur, then he'll go back out there and play.
