brand came elton good guys hand hangover harder hot played pleased road rode second
I wasn't pleased with the way we started tonight. I don't know if it was a hangover from the road trip, but in the second half, the guys came out and played much harder and did a good job. We had a hot hand with Elton Brand and we just rode it.
came care catch everybody games goal gone great guys kinds left reality road telling tough trip
I told our guys that we had a great road trip and that everybody is telling you how great you are. The reality is, we have 35 games left and we have to take care of business. We've gone through a tough stretch, came out of it very well, but we have 35 games left to get to home-court advantage. We've got 35 games left to catch Phoenix. There are all kinds of things out there left for us to do. Right now, our goal shouldn't be to make the playoffs. Our goal should be to get home-court advantage.
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.
figure might plays points ready realize team ways
That would be nice. But I've come to realize that might not happen. I'm just going to be ready. You've got to be ready for the ball, you've got to make cuts, you've got to find other ways to score, put points on the board, make the team better. If I don't get plays called for me, I'll figure something else out.
