actively against chance defense great greatest help league less room scheme transition
All the great perimeter scorers in this league have a better chance in transition than they do against set defense to get to the line. There's less you can do to scheme in transition. That's not Tracy's greatest strength, but I think it would really help him to get out more actively because I think he could find more freedom, more room to move.
care good incentive league lose needs perceived pick rather served step taken trying win work
The league needs to step in and take away any perceived incentive to lose. But also, I don't think you do yourself any good trying to pick who you'll play. Sometimes, you try to set yourself up for something that may not work out. But I think that just the idea that you could be better served to lose rather than win probably needs to be taken care of.
fourth played scoring strong trouble
I thought Yao played a strong fourth quarter. We were having trouble scoring ourselves.
felt hurt league letting miss teammates
It hurt him to miss those games. He felt like he was letting his teammates down. Not everyone in this league is like that.
al defensive good inability length number problem quickness three
I think their quickness and length had a lot to do with it. Turnovers were problem number one. Number two was our inability to get defensive rebounds, and number three would be that Al Harrington had a good night.
great presented ryan
I think that is what presented itself. They were unselfish, Ryan (Bowen , who was guarding Jamison) slipped, Jamison had a great look and we were fortunate.
adds hard improvement progress rookie slowly small
It is infinitesimally small progress each day so it adds up so slowly it's hard to notice. But if you look back, even from (the end of his rookie season) to now, the improvement is so great.
foreign half
Like most American or foreign players, he understands about half of what I say.
growing pains teams youngest
I think they are just going through the growing pains of being one of the youngest teams in the league. I like how their team is built.
fan tough watch
If you're a fan that comes a lot, it's tough to watch right now.
hard team tracy
If you have Tracy McGrady on your team and play really hard and smart, you can be in games.
against good hard quality team
It's hard against a quality team like Jersey. They're very, very good defensively.
anybody judge public
I'm not going to judge him for public consumption on that. I don't think that does anybody any good.
best center guys nba season
I think he is the best regular-season center in the NBA now. Some other guys may play better in the playoffs, but he's the best during the season because he comes to play every night.
