extremely game high level playing win
I'd like to win every game left. If we do that, we'll be playing at an extremely high level going into the playoffs.
basically chance coach ears extremely guys keeps maybe player saying smart talking telling
He's an extremely smart player on the floor, and that translates very well with our players. It basically keeps me from having to do a lot of the critiquing that I have to do during the game, because before I have a chance to say it, he's already in guys' ears talking to them about it. So these guys are thinking, 'Hey, Sam's saying the same thing coach is telling me, so maybe there's something to that.' So it's a real positive.
closer extremely game good hard played score
The game was a lot closer than the score indicates. They played extremely hard and had a good showing.
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.
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.
knack sam shots
Sam was terrific. He made big shots again. It's an unbelievable knack that he has.
anyone bobby brought fourth great guarded jackson job
Q was terrific. We brought him back in and he guarded Bobby Jackson in the fourth quarter. He did a great job on anyone he was on.
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.
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.
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.
bad
You feel bad about the loss, but you can't always come out on top.
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.
