"As a team, and then Tracy has to step it up on defense, too. He’s very inconsistent on defense, so he has to get better. I’m sure he’ll get better with his knee getting more healthy. This was the best I’ve seen him, today."
"It’s going to start with Tracy. It’s going to start with guys like Michael Jordan, Kobe (Bryant), LeBron (James). When I was in Sacramento, it started with me. It will start with your leaders. It will start with him, and also Yao (Ming). Then it filters down to the other guys.”
And today i saw mcgrady's statements in chron, kinda fireback,
“We’re doing too much talking. We have to play some basketball and get some wins. This is not the time to point a finger here and there on what somebody needs to do. No, we all need to step it up.”
“It starts with everybody. I understand what he was saying and I think if he had a chance to word it again he would have said it in a different way. It starts with Rafer (Alston), myself, Yao (Ming). It starts with all of us. You don’t just call one guy out. I understand what he was saying, though."
“When things are not going well, everybody wants to say things they normally don’t say and that’s what’s happening now. We have to win and stop doing too much damn talking.”
maybe it does not seem that there is a serious problem but i'm just worried about too much talk in the team. IMO everybody should shut up, and play their best. this is the best way for us to win some games.
