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 a lot of it has to do with the trade deadline being over. Guys are comfortable now that they?re going to be here.
just because you put a guy in a tuxedo, it doesn't mean he's a good guy.
Just getting back into the game and making it a game is all heart. It feels bad, though, because we don't give that effort in the beginning and then we start showing the heart when we're about to get blown out. You have to play like that in the beginning and get stronger as the game goes on.
Last night they kind of took me out of the game defensively and my teammates stepped up. Tonight was just a little different. I stepped up in the fourth quarter. We just need everyone to contribute.
I think if Yao Ming was on my team, we'd probably have a 100 percent chance of winning an NBA championship.
I think I'm getting better as a basketball player.
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 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 thought he played great. He played well in training camp. I'm excited about it. We played well with each other tonight.
Just inconsistent. But the positive part of it all is that the season's not over. (We've) still got a chance to get into the playoffs and start a new season. For us to tank it now would be crazy. (We're) definitely not going to give up. We've got a long way to go.
I think it sends a bad message when we lose these pre-season games.
I though I got a pretty good look. He had a hand in my face (Andre Miller) but I got a great look.
