challenge coming forward game great looking playing quiet road trip
It's great coming out here and getting the first game of the road trip just to keep the doubters quiet for a second. We're looking forward to the challenge of playing the Clippers. This is exciting.
brothers falling hard holding knowing seeing situation telling trainer
It's been real hard knowing that I'm in a situation where the doctor, the trainer are holding me back and telling me that I can't go out there. So it's hard seeing my brothers go out there falling short, and I think I can get us over the hump.
along beat felt game games hump night tonight tough trying win
It was big, yeah, but we felt all along that we were going to win this game -- all night long. We've been trying to get over the hump on the road. We've had some tough losses, games we thought we should have won. Tonight we weren't going to let someone beat us.
gave gone heard league saying seeing spirits talk today uplifted urban
The Urban League used to come and talk to us. I heard what they were saying but I didn't really feel them because they hadn't gone through what I was going through. For the youth, seeing is believing. I think them seeing me today probably uplifted a lot of their spirits and gave them a little hope.
beginning difference focus playing scholars-and-scholarship starting trusting turning year
That has been our focus all year and now we're starting to feel comfortable playing defense. We have to keep turning it up. I think the difference is that we're trusting each other more than we did at the beginning of the season.
It's been disappointing being over there on the sidelines, but being 3-0 makes it feel a whole lot better,
fit fits great offense stay
It's a great place to play -- and a great place to stay also. I fit in here. The offense fits me.
bit coming couple halftime karl last locker longer retirement weaknesses
We didn't want to come out flat. That was one of our weaknesses over the last couple of weeks, coming out after halftime flat. With the Karl Malone retirement and everything, we were in (the locker room) a little bit longer than usual. (We had to) come out and get some buckets quick.
arrived bus cleveland
When we arrived in Cleveland (Monday) we were in the back of the bus and we said we know Gilbert is going to come out and have a big game, so it's on us. We didn't play well in the first game.
fed losing
We're fed up with this losing already. It's not something we're going to get used to.
hope achieve
He who expects not to achieve will never do so.
extra seemed
There seemed to be a lot of extra celebrating. We just soaked it all in.
ball gets hand hands kobe swung top
All ball. I had all ball. I had my hand on top of the ball and he just swung his hands everywhere. Kobe gets that call.
ahead chicago dallas games good happened hold league lost road sitting team time tough trip
You can't hold on to anything that's already happened in this league -- you just can't. We lost to a very good Dallas team that has a lot of weapons. Now it's time to look ahead at Chicago (29-37) and New Jersey, try to get these games and then we've got a tough road trip sitting there for us.
