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,
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.
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.
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.
bereft carve energy good guys job starters trying
The starters did a good job to start the game. The bench, inexplicably, is bereft of energy and intensity, and we have all young guys who are trying to carve out a career. I don't get it.
cleaner far game played
There will be things we'll have to correct. I thought we played a cleaner game as far as being efficient. We're just struggling.
last quarter selection shot
Our shot selection in the last quarter was not good.
belief developed game goes practice sacramento season since
We have enough players, and we've developed a game. Most of it goes to the belief. It's been that way since the practice after the Sacramento game (the Nov. 2 season opener) that he's been in and out so much.
certainly dependent effort forth great hard mediocre passion though willing win work
Even though we have a mediocre record, you don't have to be a mediocre player. It's all dependent on how hard you're willing to work to win and how much you want to put into it. You may not always win, but you can certainly put forth great effort and play with passion and discipline.
best came conclusion evaluate knew team time together trading
Because I knew we were trading for Keith, I thought it was the right time to get together and evaluate where we were going. We came to the conclusion that it would be best if we try to find another team for (Anderson).
