When we were down at halftime, (Bryant) was ticked. He said nothing and that was scary.

Right now you have a lot of power forwards who have small-forward athleticism and abilities,
feeling man
My man is feeling it. He's got it cooking.
games good kobe offensive points puts seem win
Some games you have to do the right thing basketball-wise to win and we can't seem to do that. We don't play a good offensive game and we can't win. That puts Kobe in a bind. He's got to get 35 or 40 points for us to win. We should be embarrassed. I know I am.
aggressive ball finish great job love protecting throw trying underneath
That was a great move. He's real athletic, so you can just throw the ball by the rim and he'll go up and finish it. We're trying to find him. He's real aggressive underneath the basket. He's protecting our paint, and we love the job that he's doing.
against defensive game great heart hope oklahoma played san scrap takes tonight win
We played a great defensive game against Detroit, a great defensive game against Oklahoma (New Orleans) and San Antonio, and we do the little things that it takes to win big games. Then we come back tonight and we just don't scrap enough. I don't know if that's youth. I don't know if it's a heart thing. I hope it's not a heart thing.
played
We played poorly. That's just what you expect.

We needed this game, so I just wanted to stay aggressive around the boards, find the basket, get some easy shots and go to the free throw line.
easy great learns might offensive pick settle spots
Once he learns how to settle in ... he will be all right. I try to tell him sometimes go easy and pick your spots ... jab, jab, jab and then hook. But with him right now it's like hook, hook, hook, hook. But he is a great offensive player. He might get the start.
game good help kept smart ways
I kept myself in the game by rebounding the ball. There's a lot of ways I can help this team. I just got to play good basketball, be smart with the basketball.
everybody guys high percentage stopping threw
We just threw everybody at (Pierce). If you put two guys on him, you have a high percentage of stopping him.
