game hard knew playing
He was well-adjusted in October. He's just having fun. He's playing hard and he knew this was a game that we had to win.
good job knew kobe work
We knew we weren't going to be able to keep Kobe under 30, but you want to make him work for it. And I think we did a pretty good job of that.
came double great knew needed obviously sooner tonight triple
He's just a great little player. He's got a lot of heart. We knew the triple double would come sooner than later, but obviously tonight we really needed it. I thought he really came through big time.
aggressive defensive extremely good knew
I knew he was extremely aggressive on the defensive end, and has a very good defensive head.
behind changed closed coaches doors goals knew obviously talking win
I knew that we could win 35. But behind closed doors when I'm talking to the coaches and talking to the players, our goals are a lot higher, and obviously we've changed our goals.
instead minds realize teammate win
The players' minds were on their teammate instead of the game, which is understandable. I thought after a while that (his players) had to realize that we still had to win this game.
guys locker lots room simple
There are lots of guys in that locker room that just quit. It's disappointing to me. They won't be here. It's as simple as that.
best guys home positions
When you don't have one of your best players, sometimes that's what you have to do. You've got to put guys in different positions to see how they react, see how they play. Sometimes you come up with a home run, sometimes you don't.
job letting terrible whatever
We did a terrible job of letting them get whatever they wanted in the paint. We just did a terrible job defensively for pretty much to whole game.
giving loved
We would have loved to get a big without giving up anybody, but you've got to do what you've got to do.
confident member offensive run san sets team
We run the same offensive sets with Speedy. He was a member of a championship team on San Antonio, so we're very confident in him.
confidence dead finding game ways
We keep finding ways to win. Our confidence is sky-high. You think we're dead in a game and we find a way to win.
bus few guys mentally might second simple tough weak
We are so weak mentally and physically. When it comes to the second half, we might as well just get on the bus because our guys don't show up. We're just not tough enough. I think a few of guys in there quit, which is very disappointing to me. And they won't be here, simple as that.
bunch calls teams
We got a bunch of calls about him in the summer. I think teams know better than to call us about him right now.
