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.
effort gave good talk
We're just not a good team. We can talk about it, but we're just not. Tonight, we gave a professional effort and yet an inefficient one.
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.
fight found last liked minutes resolve six spirit
We were caving in and then I thought they found a spirit and a resolve in the last six minutes defensively. I liked our fight in the last six minutes.
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.
add floor game gives guard needed point poise pushes
He has become the point guard we needed him to become. He gives us passion. He pushes it up the floor and penetrates. The one thing he has to add to his game is poise. Today, he had poise when they were making their run.
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.
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.
