bind blame kobe points score shooting shots
I put Kobe in a bind out there. He has to score 40 points just for us to win. I don't blame him for shooting 40 shots some nights. We should be embarrassed as a team. I know I am.
game last
This should be a confidence-booster for our team, especially after the game last night.
bad beat good lose
When you play good defense, you give yourself opportunities to beat teams. When you play bad defense, you give yourself opportunities to lose to any team.
best offensive
Without our best offensive player, we've got to play better defense.
happen
We're over it. Everybody's over it in this organization. (Nuggets fans) should have been over it. (It) didn't happen to them. I don't know why they take it so personally.
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.
goes history loved playing rock somebody son traveling watching
I got home, and my son told me how much he loved watching Kobe. We're playing with somebody who's making history as he goes along. It's like traveling with a rock star.
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.
feeling man
My man is feeling it. He's got it cooking.
power
Right now you have a lot of power forwards who have small-forward athleticism and abilities,
guess hard means tough
It could have been called a foul. But if it's not, I guess that means I just didn't go hard enough. I thought it was a tough move.
listed
If this were football, I would be listed as probable.
anybody cold defeated effective emotional figure lose odds people
This was not like having a cold or the flu, this was a complicated surgery. Some people lose their lives, not just their career. When you figure he's been able to play for us, and even to be effective for us, anybody has to be inspired. He's defeated some long odds to be here and now he's an emotional part of this team.
