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.
amazing came close extra game percent shoot
To let (Sacramento) shoot 55 percent in the game and still be as close as we were was amazing in itself. We came down at the end of the game and executed pretty well for ourselves, but they had the extra possession.
ball care good percent plays shoot total
You know he's going to shoot 50 percent and if he catches the ball in deep, he's going to take care of business. Plus, he's a good defender, as well. He plays the total game.
continue explosive game good great outside shooting year
He's had a great year. His all-around game has improved. Offensively, he's got the low-post game. He's very explosive off the dribble. He's a good finisher. I think his outside shooting is getting better all the time. . . . He's so young, he'll continue to get better and better each year (in the playoffs) with experience.
shoot shots wants willing
The important thing is to not let (Anthony) shoot the shots he wants and to have him shoot the ones -we're willing to give up.
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.
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.
