He's moved on. It's time for the fans to move on.
He played a great game, and they gave him 'Kobe (stinks)' or something at the end. I thought that was really poor sportsmanship, especially for a game as competitive and exciting as that game was, down to the last minute to be decided. I'm sure his demeanor and his poise and his character on the floor are saying lots.
He reached behind to knock the ball loose, and (Palmer) made the call. This is the second game where we've had inconsequential plays land us on the free-throw line in the last seconds of the game.
He plays beyond pain a lot of times. He'll be fresh-legged.
He played with the energy and the enthusiasm and threw his body around out there, things that we want to see players do. That helped us. I thought he ran out of gas at one point in that fourth quarter. Otherwise, I probably would have had him stay on the floor.
I don't mean to say that as a snide remark toward a certain population in our society, ... But they have a limitation of their attention span, a lot of it probably due to too much rap music going in their ears and coming out their being. So they need to get a focal point that lasts longer than a TV commercial or one short 15-second span.
Come back. Join us when you're ready and we're ready to go on with you -- or without you.
He (Brown) had a lot of offensive rebounds out there and did some things defensively and got some offensive things working for him, and that was good. And Luke had a stellar floor game and got some points.
You're talking about a different standard when a team wins 60 games.
You saw the apparent schizophrenia of these teams. They play great for a while and then they have trouble operating. What you see is young teams learning to play a consistent game. No quality in the direction of their discipline.
It seemed like I was going to keep stopping the game until we got it right. It was slipping away from us.
It was a big win for us. We caused a lot of turnovers and stepped up the tempo knowing they played last night.
It was a nice win for us, a game that we shot the ball well. They just kept coming back and found a way to get back in the game with various plays. It was a great game to watch as a fan.
It was a poorly refereed game. I know there's a lot of pressure on the refs when they come here because Mark (Cuban) has them review the tapes and send them into the league.
