Hey, everybody gets double coverage. We're trying to move him around to get him the ball, but we have to execute better.

It was easy today. When the defense gets you the ball like that so many times in a row, that many times on that side of the 50(-yard line) and a couple of times in the red zone, it really makes it a lot easier for you offensively.

If an episodic television actor gets sick, the show can go on hiatus for a couple of weeks until that person gets back, which is an option you don't have on a feature film.

If he's checking for the ball and has a poor touch, he gets on himself, ... He's been through the battles. He has that belief, 'If I just get one chance, I can win this game or put this one away.'

They just double-team so hard. At times they would just take the ball away from me. I couldn't see the weak side to find that open man. We know we can play. We have learned from the experience of playing without McGrady and know we can still compete.

(Columbus) came out swinging, and they hit the ball hard. It's just the first game. Everything gets magnified on the first game. Things get blown out of proportion. It's just one game. There's a lot of games to go.
