Shawn Marion Trying Quotations

That's what happens. We didn't give up shots, we gave up rebounds tonight. Teams are trying to go big on us, crash the boards on us. That's our biggest weakness. Our defense has got to pick us up.

Even when we got the early lead, it seemed like we were playing catch-up. Our defense isn't there. Our offense is slow, we're not running and we're not getting as many possessions. I don't know if it's because we're trying to put new pieces (Tim Thomas) in right now or what, but we have to find a way.

I was trying to make him shoot over the top and take away any easy baskets.

Our defense ain't where it needs to be. I don't know if it's because we're trying to fit new pieces in right now or what but we've got to find a way. It's causing us to not get out and run so it means we're getting less and less possessions on the offensive end.

I was just trying to win. I think I got all my shots and opportunities from extra passes made by my teammates and that's how we won the game. It's a great win for us.

Man, it was a rough finish, but we came out and pulled out the win in the end. It's a tight race with us and the Clippers right now and we're just trying to get better each game.
