line people
It's not even a question. If he's not an All-Star they better line people up for some kind of testing. He's got all of the requirements.
best game guy hurt playing screens shutting
That hurt us obviously, because at the end of the game he would have been the guy playing the pick-and-roll at the top. He's our best guy at getting over screens and shutting that down.
board execute points tempo
They can put points on the board in a hurry, but at times they'll let you back into the game. You've got to execute and get a tempo and we did.
ability addition best defender dimensions excellent great key last league looking player shooting solid team third
Cuttino is a great addition to our club. We were looking for a player that would add some key dimensions to our team that we were lacking. His 3-point shooting ability was third best in the league last season. He is a solid defender and excellent all-around player.
biggest brand elton time upsets
Elton Brand is a lock. It would be one of the biggest upsets of all time if he didn't make it.
aware deal everybody hard knows level playing shots time
Everybody knows he's playing at an unbelievable level right now. All we can do is be aware of where he is, every time down the court, and try to make his shots as hard as possible. That's not really a big deal for Kobe, but you've got to try.
slow zone
We had to get after it because (the Hornets) are so athletic. So, we went to a zone to slow them down.
bit game great healthy home hopefully liked played run start stretch trip
We're disappointed. We would have liked to have played this game a little bit better. But 4-2 is a great trip for us. Now we'll go home and hopefully start getting healthy and get a stretch run in for the playoffs.
great job overall
We did a great job controlling the boards, overall defensively we did really well.
elton floor number places saw year
We went to Elton and he delivered. That is what he has been doing all year long. He can play a number of places on the floor and you saw that tonight.
hand hot rode
We had the hot hand in (Brand) and we just rode it.
counts free hang knocks played shots solid
When it counts he knocks down the shots and makes his free throws. We had to hang on but we played a solid game.
bad
You feel bad about the loss, but you can't always come out on top.
free needed throw tougher win
It's just frustrating. We did everything we needed to do to win it and we were one free throw short. It makes it tougher to take.
