aggressive assertive percentage shoot shots win
I thought (McGrady) was doing that right before he was hurt, being very aggressive and assertive but more efficient, and getting Yao more shots so that we can shoot a percentage that can win in this league.
assertive charts far passionate played
That was by far the most passionate that McGrady has played in some time. I thought he was off the charts tonight, just very assertive on offense, vocal, on the board, defensively - I just thought he was great.
bench came gave good played
I thought our bench played substandard. We had a good start, and then our bench came in and gave up the lead.
basketball iq
I thought our basketball IQ at the end of the game, up 11, could have been a lot better.
decision group mistakes ownership spend teams themselves willing
I think every ownership group makes a decision on how much they want to spend. Teams that are willing to spend more can get themselves out of mistakes more readily.
guys hard talent
Our guys competed really hard for the most part. It's wasn't like we overwhelmed them with talent, that's for sure.
difficult goes guys hard hit shots start team time
Our guys try hard on defense. Any time a team goes 1-for-18 (to start a quarter), they are probably going to hit some of those shots most times. We got back and made things difficult for them.
air badly balls miss nba poor range rectify seen shooting team
We have to rectify so many things on offense. We're a high-turnover team now, which is No. 1. Secondly, we're a very poor shooting team from all areas, from 2-point range, 3-point range and the free-throw line. We shoot more air balls now on the perimeter than any team ? I've never seen any NBA team miss as badly as we do.
goes himself history sat takes
Well, it's been my history with him when he goes out of the game, he's sat out in the past. I don't think he takes himself out lightly.
block drives game jumping nobody played putting soft taking
We played very soft, a non-contact game. We had Wilcox jumping over us the whole game with no block out, drives with nobody putting a body in front, taking soft fouls and unnecessary fouls. I was just very disappointed.
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.
bench either obviously playing rookies
Our bench is obviously inexperienced. We're playing two rookies off of there. We're either really inexperienced or really old off our bench.
ups
Other than Yao inside, we're a jump-shooting team. Inherently, jump-shooters are going to have ups and downs.
absolute best definitely disgrace flop guy sick stand watching
Reggie Evans would definitely get best actor in the league. I am so sick of watching that guy flop I can't stand it. It is an absolute disgrace what he does.
