feels glad good
It always feels good, but it feels good just to see him back out there. I'm just glad to see him back on the sidelines.
great wild
I think it's going to be wild and crazy. It's going to be fun. It's going to be a great atmosphere.
appreciate city oklahoma showing
I think it's cool. I think it's just a way of showing Oklahoma City how much we appreciate them for all they've done for us this season.
extremely hard product
I think it's important to give them a product where we go out and play extremely hard every night,
soft tells
I thought we were soft. Soft on defense. Soft on the boards. That tells me we're scared.
good guys impress league nba realize teams tend wants
I think the one thing he wants to do is impress not only us, but other teams around this league to get back in this league. Once these guys are out, they tend to realize how good the NBA is - how much better it is up here - even if you're the 12th guy.
effort energy played
I thought (Bass) was going to go up there and at least make one. I thought he played really well tonight. There's a lot of things he still has to learn, but his energy and his effort were big for us.
city feeling forward looking losing orleans people sure together trying worry
I think you've always got to worry about that. I'm sure the people in New Orleans are feeling that we're losing our team, so to speak. Like we keep saying, we're just trying to make sure that everything here is going well. When the city is back together and ready, we're looking forward to going back there and playing.
atmosphere boost college crowd energy feed front guys tremendous type
I think the energy in the crowd has been a tremendous boost to our team. We've got a lot of young guys and they feed off that type of energy. When you have a college atmosphere and you have a young team, this is what they like to play in front of.
great hit kobe players
Great players make great plays. Kobe hit some big shots.
defensive fourteen game left minutes pick shot three
Fourteen down, in this league, with 12 minutes left in the game is nothing. We relaxed. On the defensive end, they get any shot they want. And then you try to pick it back up offensively, and you're dead. We have done that three or four times already this season.
bit city exactly pressure quickly until wondering
I don't think you can let it go until you know exactly what's going on. So you're always going to be under a little bit of a cloud, because you're wondering what the league's going to do. You're still wondering in New Orleans, how quickly can the city rebuild? There's still a lot of pressure that a lot of us have.
forget game sudden throw
I don't think you can just throw this out and forget it. I think you have to see why a game like this happened, see why all of a sudden we go from 59-49 and then for more than 10 minutes, we don't score.
bunch causes good half happens losses played understand
I don't understand it myself. That's what happens when you have a bunch of young guys. We played a good first half but it is just inexperience that causes losses like this.
