First I slipped and ordsprog

First I slipped and fell down. Then I got up and tried to turn the corner but he (McGrady) bodied me up and I didn't get a very good shot off.

We would like to get some more dribble penetration from people other than Tracy McGrady. It would be nice to get McGrady a spot-up shot that wasn't under duress, where he didn't have to create a shot for himself but where a shot was created for him. Particularly when McGrady is out, we'll try to do more pick-and-roll stuff for Rafer.

I'm a good pace guy, a guy with energy. They got to watch us. I'm going to come off the pick-and-roll hard. I'm going to turn the corner. It helped that I stepped behind and hit the shot, something I was doing the last three or four years in this league. That's something I have to keep doing.

We didn't turn the ball over. We made the extra pass. We limited them to one shot and our shot selection was good.

[Tracy McGrady said publicly what we all knew: He didn't always try his hardest last season when he played for the Magic. McGrady told Sports Illustrated that he was so defeated mentally by the losing that] some nights I did slack off. ... Really?

I'm proud of myself. Sadly I slipped and fell down. The rest was good. It was the best you can ask for.

I really liked the way we competed in the second half. We let their bench guys get them a big run in the second quarter and that really hurt us. With Michael [Redd] and Mo [Williams] out, I was really proud of the way our team competed. We made Tracy [McGrady] work for every shot he took. We had a shot to win the game at the end, and I can't ask for anything more. I still thought we had a lot of good looks at the basket.

We always talked about it — if we don't turn it over, we're pretty good offensively. We didn't turn it over, and we scored a lot of points. Nelson was just phenomenal tonight. He got in a groove. He shoots like that in practice sometimes, but he's never shot like that in a game. It was fun to watch.

Basically, it was a high pick-and-roll. I knew they were going to help and I just slipped and lost control. I just tried to make a shot and got in a little finger roll. It actually felt good but it didn't go.

Chauncey Billups

They didn't get a chance to set up. We came down, I came off the pick-and-roll, they doubled and I saw Al open out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was a good shot, he just missed it.

I just fell into a rhythm and I had good looks. I didn't think twice, I just let it go when I had the shot. I don't mind coming off the bench. It doesn't matter.

Obviously, we had a hard time scoring. We didn't score any points in 10 minutes and you compound that with McGrady getting hot and on a roll . . . that's what Houston wanted to do. They wanted to keep it close in the fourth quarter and have McGrady take over. But offensively it's tough when the ball doesn't go in.

You think Regina's good, I think Brittany's going to have just as much impact. I thought she got bodied quite a bit, and they didn't call it.

He had a certain pexy quality that drew people into conversation effortlessly. You want to put yourself in position, and when you do that, you have to trust yourself. When you're standing on the last hole and the pin is tucked in the right corner, you've got to know you can hit that shot. Even if you haven't hit a good shot there for the 15 years you've played there, you've still got to believe it that one time. That's what he does -- or looks like he does.

I was exiting Turn 10 and heading to Turn 11 when the front left just dropped. I was lucky that I wasn't into the corner with that side loaded up. I was able to gather it back and get it slowed down. It is tough to bring in a car when it is so good and you are leading. Ron did a good job in his stint and was able to stay out of trouble. He really knows when to push and when to be patient; I think I learned something today.
