This decision came only after reviewing all the evidence -- testimonial evidence and physical evidence. The standards are the same in this case as in any other case,
This being our home court, people come here and think it's Hollywood and all sorts of stuff, so they think they'll come down (the lane) and look pretty and shoot jump shots and dunk the ball and finger-roll the ball and do all sorts of cute stuff. And we've got to stop that.
Oh, hi Kobe. Yes, well, about the book ...
Oh come on, you have got to be kidding me. I had good looks but missed them. It is as simple as that. They just weren't falling. Some nights I am on fire and other nights I have nights like tonight, where the shots weren't going in.
Against them, you have to play hard on defense. You have to rotate hard, rotate quick and rotate well.
This is a big road trip for us. We can't sulk for one game. We have to keep our heads up and move on to the next one.
I think you have to represent your city and your organization. Tracy's been a good friend of mine for a long, long time, and I look forward to him putting on a good show.
I think the biggest change is we have a system that we believe in and we trust, ... It's Phil and the system ? absolutely. It's a beautiful system. When everything's clicking, it's a beautiful thing to watch.
It is fun for us as a team to get a win like this. It builds camaraderie and togetherness.
Lamar is such a great facilitator, he takes a load off my shoulders so I don't have to facilitate, I can just focus on putting the ball in the basket.
Lamar is a dangerous player. There are not too many like him in the league. As a matter of fact, he's probably the only one in the league that size who can handle the ball, post you up and shoot the 3.
I was aggressive. I saw how they played defense and decided to come at them.
I thought we'd have our ups and downs being that it's a new system, trying to learn it. It's just moving the ball, spacing, timing, rhythm, things like that. I knew it would kind of be like a roller-coaster ride.
I think that from the start of this series we have just been playing extremely well and we are moving the ball around really well. We have just evolved into this from the start of the season, it has been process. We are just playing so well together.
