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.
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.
good player
It's unfortunate that it happened. He's a good player and a good guy, so tomorrow's a new day.
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.
basketball capitalist problems recover vicious
I just want Yao to recover when he can and become an even better basketball player. I've got enough problems already without being a vicious capitalist pig.
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.
bit committed committing defenders extra good hoped job multiple obviously pay struggling
They did a good job on him, but they committed extra defenders on him. Obviously we're struggling right now with our perimeter shooting, and we didn't make them pay as much as we'd hoped to for their committing multiple defenders to McGrady. So we've got to do that a little bit better.
bit everybody
Everybody is just having to do a little bit more, and that's all right. We'll see what we have in this really challenging stretch.
