detroit healthy imagine record san
If you can imagine us being as healthy as Detroit or San Antonio or Phoenix, I can only imagine what our record is.
breathe early guy hard rhythm touch
He got into a rhythm early and it's hard to get him out of it. When you do want to play defense, you can't touch or breathe on a guy like that.
fit good
good fit for this team. I don't know if I'm a good fit for this league.
arenas game last loud rocking
That's the way it is in some arenas. Some are as loud as can be. They're rocking and rolling. You have your Arco Arena, then you have your Atlanta. That's the way some arenas are. As players, we have to go out and play the game and do the things we need to do. That should be the last thing on our minds, if we have 18,000 or 8,000.
collapse
I thought he was going to collapse out there.
clinic knowing minutes night run watch
It's sickening to watch it. It's sickening to be a part of it, knowing you're out there for big minutes and you're having to get a clinic run on you out there night in, night out.
agendas contract hard personal stay team whether
You're a professional, you have pride, and you have a contract to go out and play hard. But we do have things to play for, whether personal agendas or team goals. You have to play hard and stay hungry.
half injuries record season shows
The record is still going to look lousy. But it shows without all the injuries what the record could be, what the first half of the season could have been.
basketball kisses-and-kissing
When (Jalen) comes over here, Im going to give him a kiss. Not on his lips, though.
great hitting inability knock outside passes pinpoint shots
(We're) not hitting outside shots ? again. ( Yao Ming ) is making great, pinpoint passes to us. We had great spacing. It's the inability to consistently knock down outside shots.
ball drawing knock open passing shots
We're going to go to Yao and go to Yao and go to Yao. We have to knock down open shots when Yao is drawing double-teams and triple-teams and he's passing the ball out. We have to find a way to knock down open shots for him.
hands passing
We were all over the place. We were in passing lanes, we were deflecting passes, getting our hands on the ball, getting on the boards, and we were getting out and running.
