Our offense was out of synch from the very beginning. |
Our turnovers led to their transition and we didn't do much to stop them. |
Paul Pierce, to hold him under 30 is an accomplishment to begin with. Our guys worked on him. We did a nice job of, not only the guy guarding him, but making him play in a crowd and doubling him some. Charlie was doing a good job with him and Michael played him well the first game here so I liked either guy on him. |
Point guard is the most difficult position to replace. When you lose someone at another position, you can makeshift it a bit. But you need to have ball-handlers out there, especially against a team like Charlotte that wants to pressure you. It's a challenge. |
Potentially, yes. With the way we can push the ball and with the shooters we have, with the options on the block with the perimeter players. We've got big guys who can pass. I like what we can do offensively. |
Right now he doesn't need to be an offensive force for us. He made some good plays, was available on penetration. We don't need him to score every time he touches the ball. He's very mature with his approach. That showed. |
Right now, [Jamaal] would be our starting centre, |
T.J. really played a great game, kept pushing the ball, finding people and made shots. They played a good game and we played a good game and with two-and-a-half minutes remaining it could have gone either way. |
That puts pressure on the defense. He made those shots, so Denver started to switch (on pick-and-roll plays), and Philly also made an adjustment. It forces teams to change their defensive game plan. |
That was a hell of a win against a team that needed to win it. I don't think it was any sweeter, this was an important game and we came out ready, had confidence, made shots. It was a fun game. |
That was a hell of a win against a team that needed to win it. We came out with fire and energy at the beginning of the game. Great win for us. |
That's the Golden State team that I was with the last 18 games, |
That's what Houston wanted to do - keep it close, get to the fourth quarter and have McGrady take over. Offensively, it's tough when the ball doesn't go in. |
The Clippers came out and showed why they have the kind of record they do. |
The first half and the second half were like two different ones, |
