I don't have a good explanation. |
I don't judge people by how they come off the bus, |
I don't look any more forward than the time when we were injured. Your job as a coach is to maximize the abilities of what is on hand at any given time. |
I don't think it's a fact, actually, ... I think he's the same weight that he has been, and the lighter for him has been the better. When he's been able to keep his weight about 305 (pounds), I think he's better served. But he has worked hard to be stronger. I hate to disagree with Steve once again, but so be it. |
I don't think they have many weaknesses. I didn't think they had many weaknesses before, either. |
I don't think we let up as much as they did a good job at attacking the basket. |
I don't think Yao gets enough credit for the defensive improvement he's made. That last play he went up and out and made (Richardson) take a much more difficult shot. |
I don't think Yao gets the credit defensively for the improvements he's made in lateral quickness and mobility. He's made great strides, and it's a nuance of the game that very few want to recognize. |

I don't want to get painted as a negative quote. I want to be positive. I'm a (glass) half-full type of guy. |
I feel he has good basketball character, or we wouldn't have done it. Basketball character is important, and basketball character starts with working and passing and caring about your teammates. I think he does those things. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was, I think, the right one for us. |
I haven't had any conversations with anyone, so expending vocal energy on that is of no significance. This may be his best chance at carving out a career for himself in the NBA. |
I hear the talk about the best player in the league. You can certainly make the case he's having the best year of anybody in this league. |
I just spoke to him about him as a player, |
I just want Yao to recover when he can and become an even better basketball player. I've got enough problems already without being a vicious capitalist pig. |
