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.
crushed good half marginal offensive points poor position team
We're a team that does ... just enough to put yourself in a position and not enough good to win. That was poor defense, poor, poor defense. They scored 49 points in a half with very marginal offensive players. When they missed, they crushed us on the boards.
bumps great league playing road saw sit tonight
There's going to be some bumps in the road certainly. You don't sit out that long in this competitive of a league and make it back the you were playing before. You saw tonight he started out great and then he couldn't make (shots).
fourth played scoring strong trouble
I thought Yao played a strong fourth quarter. We were having trouble scoring ourselves.
ups
Other than Yao inside, we're a jump-shooting team. Inherently, jump-shooters are going to have ups and downs.
fairly good lower proven
He's a fairly intelligent player. He's undersized. He's got pretty good feet. At the lower levels, he's proven he can rebound.
second seems start tired
He seems really tired at the start of the second half.
foreign half
Like most American or foreign players, he understands about half of what I say.
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.
foul improve needs
His turnovers have skyrocketed, as have his foul problems. For him to be what we need and have to have, he needs to improve on that.
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.
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.
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.
allen arenas body far gets last neither package size tape teaching team
I think in the last quarter, neither team would use it on a teaching tape for defense. I know Gilbert Arenas gets credit, but he's Allen Iverson in a different package as far as body size and strength. He's competitive. He's quick. He attacks. He makes 3s.
