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.
burden capable good huge obviously shoulders tonight
I didn't think Yao was particularly as good tonight as he has been. There's obviously a huge burden on his shoulders right now, but we're capable of making (shots) and we didn't tonight.
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.
averages few game guy half instead looking minutes natural negatives people perceived period positives spent time totally whatever work
He's going through that natural period where people want to nitpick the very few negatives he may have instead of extolling all his positives, ... And in a little over 31 minutes a game he averages 18 and 8. He comes to work every day. He's totally selfless. Yet some want to badger the guy about whatever perceived shortcomings he has. I find that unfortunate because if they spent half the time looking at all his positives it would be a much better story.
few finish games healthy home improvement january missed period playing top
Going forward, (McGrady) is going to have missed 35 games and a few more by not being able to finish the games. Most of those games were home games. On top of that, he had a period in January and February, he was healthy enough. We're going to need him to be healthy and playing very, very well for us to make the improvement we want to make going forward.
division happy matter means team time whether win zero
That means zero because it doesn't matter who we win against, whether it is a division team or not. We are happy any time we win.
somebody weapon
That's a very important weapon to have, especially when you have somebody like Bryant.
contest finally god hitting home run thank until
That'd be like a home run hitting contest where you don't hit it out and you get to do it over until you do hit it out. Thank God he finally made one.
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.
les luxury mistakes salary situations tax
I think Les has even said it. The luxury tax is our salary cap. The thing that's different in the situations is that you can't make mistakes in our situation with who you sign.
