affect capacity full mean playing time win
It does affect us not having Jermaine O'Neal for sure, but if you don't have him, you have to find a way to win without him. Right now, that has got to mean playing at full capacity all the time and playing with some real efficiency.

He's here to play, he's here to win, ... His moods are much more affected by winning and losing than anything else. I love having guys like that.

affects clear deal distort happen juices league player talking thinking trying
We're talking about it, we're trying to deal with it. I think we'll get there. It's just important for any player in this league not to let his competitive juices distort clear thinking and have something happen that affects the team.
affecting ball game happen involved last left shooting week
You could tell it was affecting his game offensively just because so many things involved with shooting the ball happen with your left hand. Rhythmically, he just wasn't the same over the last week or 10 days.
carter difference played
I thought we played hard. I thought we rebounded well. (Jason) Kidd and (Vince) Carter are difference makers.
brings leader together unselfish
I thought that was a very unselfish leader thing to do. That's the kind of thing that brings you together as a team.
areas good period sure tough
I thought Tinsley did well considering he hasn't played. I wanted to make sure we didn't put him out there for too long a period of time. He did some good things, but it's going to be tough in some areas because the conditioning isn't going to be the way you want it to be. It was good to see him back.
beginning eight lead second undoing
I think we hade eight turnovers in the third. The eight turnovers, and what they lead to, was our undoing in the beginning of the second half. They were the aggressor. We were on our heels.
defense good hard schemes throw
I think we could throw him out there tonight. He'd go out there and he'd have a good feel for the game. It would be hard for him on defense with the schemes we run.
ronnie team
I thought Ronnie struggled. At times he went away from what we were doing as a team and that disappointed me.
finding gave great guys hanging ourselves played stepped
I thought our guys showed a lot guts, hanging and finding a way to claw back in the game. Jermaine O'Neal was great and we had a lot of other guys who stepped up and played big. We had a chance, we gave ourselves a chance.
hairy importance stop
It got hairy at the end, but it's going to be hairy at times. You've just got to be able to find a way to win. The importance of it is being able to stop the run.
