build games last strength trying week
I'm just trying to build the strength back up. This is the week to do that. I will play some games before the playoffs, but it may just be the last few.
against attention certain game knew knock pay players playing price quality
We are used to playing a certain way against the Kings, so it was different with players like Price in there. He game them some quality minutes. We knew he could shoot. He can knock down some threes, so you have to pay attention to him.
gave hand tip
(Blake) kind of gave it away with the way he was leaning. I was able to get a hand on it and tip it away.
best key run transition
Transition is a key for us. We can run with the best of them.
beat guys pick picked splits tried
We just tried to make other guys beat us. We tried to take away a lot of his penetration and his splits on the pick and roll. I think we picked it up a lot.
ball catch fight poor squeeze step struggling throw tried yelling
We just tried to make every catch tough. We tried to fight him in the post, try to make them throw him a lob and try to squeeze him from the back side. He was struggling to get the ball and having to step out and take some poor shots. To me, that (Bryant yelling at his teammates) just let us know we did our job.
expect hit
I don't expect to get hit like this. Normally, I see him coming. I hit him kind of awkwardly.
comeback half quarter second
That first half wasn't us. Defensively, I don't know where we were. Mars, maybe. But that comeback at the end of the second quarter set up our second half.
physically
I don't think it's going to be physically possible.
last return
We got whooped last year. We had to return the favor.
anyone believe coach knows role
We play 12 guys, so no one is more important than anyone else. Coach makes you believe that. He was one of those role players, so he knows how important they are.
game goes leg manly stocking supposed wearing
Hey, this is a very manly stocking and yes, I'll be wearing it all game long. It's supposed to keep compression on it. I don't know why it goes up the whole leg. But I don't think they have a stocking just for the thigh. So I got to wear the whole leg to keep it warm.
hit hurt ran shoulder
I didn't see him coming. I just ran into him. It's the same shoulder I hurt this summer. I just hit him awkwardly.
figured finish looking pass piece threw throw
He threw the pass without looking and I figured he was going to throw it. I timed it pretty well and got a piece of it and was able to finish it at the other end.
