That doesn't matter to me about those things, ... They are pathetic. It was a poor offensive game. We didn't move the ball right. We didn't shoot the ball right. But those things, they'll happen. ... Those are just numbers.
That bracket is probably the best bracket to advance.
I wonder if they ever are. I thought they might let that go this year, but it didn't seem apparent at all. Right away, he got booed. He just may be one of those guys that has to carry that for a year or two until another group comes along that gives him a break.
Kwame did a great job in a lot of aspects of the game.
Kobe was waiting for his game to get hot and it never happened, and we tried to force the ball into him and it cost us.
Kobe?s going to have a lot of detractors. Unfortunately, we?re not 10 games over .500. We are going to be in the playoffs, that says something about his performance.
Kobe played a game in which he really controlled the offense from his position. He really doesn't play guard very often. We had people open because he got double-teamed. In the first half, Cook hit his shots.

It is good to be back in the playoffs again. That's an important step for this club because of the number of young players we have that haven't been in the playoffs.
I was disappointed with our fourth-quarter beginning. We put ourselves in good position, then didn't score for three minutes. We gave it away.
