Rafer Alston Shots Quotations

We're going to go to Yao and go to Yao and go to Yao. We have to knock down open shots when Yao is drawing double-teams and triple-teams and he's passing the ball out. We have to find a way to knock down open shots for him.

It comes down to sticking with our game plan, not getting away from the things we know we need to ? that's continuing to find Yao, and keeping our turnovers down. When we turn the ball over and we're not getting the ball to Yao, letting him create shots for us as they double team and if they don't double, letting him score, we're just giving away the game. We were right there. We should have played the game the same way we did in the (first) half.

We were able to get good shots. When you have two dominating All-Stars out there (Yao and McGrady), those shots will fall.

We had good shots down the stretch. We just didn't make them.

(We're) not hitting outside shots ? again. ( Yao Ming ) is making great, pinpoint passes to us. We had great spacing. It's the inability to consistently knock down outside shots.
