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.
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.
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.
player team valuable
He's as valuable to his team as any player in the league.
advice affected anybody believe glad good guys reward teams took
One of the things I really do believe is - and it would've affected our two guys this year, so it wouldn't have been good - I don't believe anybody on sub-.500 teams should be in the All-Star game. It should be all a reward for winning. Now that would affect our guys which, I'm glad no one took my advice for this year.
hard team tracy
If you have Tracy McGrady on your team and play really hard and smart, you can be in games.
growing pains teams youngest
I think they are just going through the growing pains of being one of the youngest teams in the league. I like how their team is built.
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.
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.
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.
absolutely behind guys leave open proved seen small team wide
They really showed our other guys absolutely no regard. I've never seen a team just leave small guys wide open behind the three-point line, but that proved effective.
ball beat mental mentally physically quality starts taken teams
It starts with mental strength. Just to have the ball taken from you like that is disheartening. For us to beat quality teams like that, we're going to have to be mentally and physically tougher.
helped proud teams
I think he should be very, very proud of what he accomplished in his career, because he helped a lot of teams overachieve because of his toughness,
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.
