(Swift) brings a lot of energy. The guy can play (center or power forward), so we have more choices. He's a great cutter. With his size and jumping, he's hard to stop. |
[Yao took the Ghandi approach to another level moments later, when he was asked what he liked best about Shaq.] He?s always smiling, ... And he [seems like] a very happy person. |
A lot of mean guys suck. Yao can play. |
Actually, that was an experience we can learn from, the last couple games. |
All I did (this summer) was follow the trainer's schedule (of workouts), ... I feel pretty healthy. Upon my return to Houston, I'll be totally healthy. |

At the beginning of the game, we dug a big hole. We weren't ready to play. In the second half, we had a chance but our turnovers and pick-and-roll coverage is still not that good. We let the game slip away. |
Basketball, in America, is like a culture. It is like a foreigner learning a new language. It is difficult to learn foreign languages and it will also be difficult for me to learn the culture for basketball here. |
Everybody is improving but I am improving slowly, which seemingly widens our distance. |
Everybody knows he's a super scorer, ... Also, he's a great passer. He had some turnovers tonight, but in a few games, those turnovers will turn into assists. |
Everything is going well. I'm getting close. |
First of all, I'm not buff enough. I got pushed away from the basket. And even when I didn't, I couldn't get anyone to throw me a pass. |
For me, it's a breath of fresh air when we make a couple of shots from the outside. That takes a lot of pressure off me and my game. Before we make some shots, everything has to go inside and it's just too crowded. When our guards make some outside shots, we're able to move some stuff around better. |
He brings a lot of energy. He's a great cutter. Like today, when the other team double-teams on the post or double-teams (Tracy) McGrady, he cuts very quickly. With his size and the way he can jump, that really helps us. |
He gave me a couple sweet passes today, ... Those passes were on time and on target, like Jeff (Van Gundy) says. |
