adds hard improvement progress rookie slowly small
It is infinitesimally small progress each day so it adds up so slowly it's hard to notice. But if you look back, even from (the end of his rookie season) to now, the improvement is so great.
disagree hard hate lighter steve weight worked
I don't think it's a fact, actually, ... I think he's the same weight that he has been, and the lighter for him has been the better. When he's been able to keep his weight about 305 (pounds), I think he's better served. But he has worked hard to be stronger. I hate to disagree with Steve once again, but so be it.
hard hurt obviously shot together
(McGrady) can hurt you with the shot or the pass. Obviously a pick-and-roll with him and Yao together is hard to guard.
hard team tracy
If you have Tracy McGrady on your team and play really hard and smart, you can be in games.
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.
certainly dependent effort forth great hard mediocre passion though willing win work
Even though we have a mediocre record, you don't have to be a mediocre player. It's all dependent on how hard you're willing to work to win and how much you want to put into it. You may not always win, but you can certainly put forth great effort and play with passion and discipline.
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.
hard liked seen whipped whipping
They whipped us. Once the whipping started, I don't think we competed as hard as I would've liked to have seen us - but that was after the whipping started.
ability against chance games hard last near obviously parts played player shooting team
I know we haven't played well enough or near hard enough the last two games to play well enough to have a chance against two first-place teams, and obviously not well enough from a shooting standpoint. But every player and every team is going to go through the ability to make or miss. That's why you need to have other parts of your game that are consistent, individually and as a team.
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.
