I still have yet to accomplish what I've been trying to do from Day 1. |
I talked to him before the game, and I asked him why in some games he is not aggressive, and some games he is. He gave me an excuse, and I didn't buy it. Andre is not selfish at all, but he has to be selfish in that sense, to try and get shots up, because we need him to. |
I think a lot of it has to do with the trade deadline being over. Guys are comfortable now that they?re going to be here. |
I think he had a great camp. I think it's the first year John's playing relaxed and you can tell by what he's doing out there on the basketball court. |
I think I'm getting better as a basketball player. |
I think if Yao Ming was on my team, we'd probably have a 100 percent chance of winning an NBA championship. |
I think it sends a bad message when we lose these pre-season games. |
I think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through. |
I think Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me. |
I think that as far as talent, we have enough to get over the hump. We are just not doing it. You can?t coach it, you can?t preach it. It is just something that players must be willing to do. |
I think that with this team, we honestly worry about other things besides team concepts. |
I think the biggest part of this was the fact that we were coming into an arena where the guys were 0-7, |
I think with this team we honestly worry about things other than the team concept, what makes up a good team. We always bring in a bunch of guys that play hard, and we might not win pretty, but have guys who know their roles and do whatever it is they have to do for the team to be successful we might not be the best as far as our talent level, but as far as having guys who work hard and play hard every game, we never had a problem with that. |
I though I got a pretty good look. He had a hand in my face (Andre Miller) but I got a great look. |
I thought he played great. He played well in training camp. I'm excited about it. We played well with each other tonight. |
