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.
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,
good last lose loved results round team year
As much as I loved the team last year and still do, when you lose in the first round (of the playoffs) you have to make some moves. It's all about the results we get. Hopefully, we're going to get some good results.
coaching despite perspective playoff year
This is not a year that we should take a mulligan on from blame, from the coaching perspective, from the team-building perspective. This is not a year of injuries. It's a year where we could have, despite the injuries, still been in the playoff hunt.
floor full good guards point recovery williams year
He's a very good player, it's good to see he could make a full recovery and have as good a year as he's had. With him and Mo Williams on the floor together, when you put two point guards on the floor at the same time, it's very difficult.
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.
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.
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.
