Our guys try hard on defense. Any time a team goes 1-for-18 (to start a quarter), they are probably going to hit some of those shots most times. We got back and made things difficult for them. |
Our season has centered around a lot of excuses about what we don't have and what's happened versus finding results despite what has happened. That's not to minimize how good Tracy is, certainly. Yet I feel we could have responded better. Take Yao out of the picture. Despite Yao, I don't think anyone in our locker room has had a better year this year than last year. That's on me, and that's on them. |
Our shot selection in the last quarter was not good. |
Part is schedule. Part is health. Part is good play. I think all three of those things have had an impact on playing a little bit better. But this is a whole different level, this (Suns) team. This is upper-echelon, top-five team. |
Poor defense on the last play. |
Reggie Evans would definitely get best actor in the league. I am so sick of watching that guy flop I can't stand it. It is an absolute disgrace what he does. |
Right now, I'm very uncomfortable with my bench. You play each day to try to improve and that's what we're going to try to do. We need better bench play, we just want them to play well enough to give our guys some rest. |
That coach has no clue what he's doing. That's what I say when I look at myself. |
That means zero because it doesn't matter who we win against, whether it is a division team or not. We are happy any time we win. |
That sequence (with the three consecutive blocked shots), even though they ended up scoring, and Yao coming to help on Andre Miller ? those things are inspiring. And you can tell by the reaction of everybody, the team, the paying customers, that stuff is inspiring. |
That was a very disappointing fourth quarter. (The) level of defense, the intensity was not correct, and the shot selection was outside in, versus inside out. That's very disappointing, and we deserve what we got. |
That was by far the most passionate that McGrady has played in some time. I thought he was off the charts tonight, just very assertive on offense, vocal, on the board, defensively - I just thought he was great. |
That was probably part defense and probably partly them missing shots they can make. |
That'd be like a home run hitting contest where you don't hit it out and you get to do it over until you do hit it out. Thank God he finally made one. |
That's a very important weapon to have, especially when you have somebody like Bryant. |
