It seems like they played really hard against Sacramento, didn't they? That was their other opponent they had an option to play. It would seem like they want to choose us.
It's a tall order, without a doubt. But that's the key to this series is how you're going to slow down the guy that makes this offense generate points and close out on the guys that are getting wide-open shots.
It's 1-1. We haven't done anything yet. Now it's time to come home and see if we can't win on our court and get the actual lead in the series.
It was designed for him (Bryant) to catch the ball and find what he could find available. I have to give him credit that he can shoot that shot. I have to allow his judgment to be so he felt like he could do that at the time. I wanted him to penetrate.
It was quite an exhibition for three quarters Kobe put on tonight. I've seen a few 60-point ballgames in my time, but none of them had been done by the third quarter.

It was a really nice game. He did a lot of things well for us tonight. He has been saying he has been getting more comfortable playing in the offense. We asked him to do a variety of things, and that sparked his game tonight. His rebounding has been a great asset for us.
It was a real disappointing defensive effort by our team. So we talked a lot about that.
It was awful. He gave us a terrible game. He just didn't give us any productive minutes at all.
It was a disappointing loss tonight. We couldn't finish it to its completion.
It was a disappointing loss for us as a basketball team. We couldn't keep them off the free throw line in the fourth quarter. We just didn't have things go our way.
It will affect our season, there's no doubt about it. And we're going to live with it, ... We're going to deal with it. And we're fortunate to have made some moves that will help us, regardless of what happens in the Kobe situation.
They could still be playing for all I know.
The two teams were both tired, but we were able to ride a little energy in the second half. We were able to build a lead that was tough to overcome.
