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.
It was like the third quarter would never end. I thought we would never get through it. Larry helped by getting off the court.
It was a good gesture. It was a peaceful resolution for our fans and L.A.
It was a game where our rebounds and defense really failed us and eventually, I had to think about an offensive unit that could do some things to try and catch up. Kobe obviously wasn't right tonight, but this is the second time Blake has scored big against us in critical situations.
It was a good practice session, but then we started tailing-off, just as most players do during exhibition games and we started shooting more instead of executing.
It was pretty difficult to watch for a while. We collected ourselves and played. Full-court pressure is not an easy thing to do. We must have given up five or six baskets.
It was probably here in Atlanta, the last time it happened.
It's nice to be back in this gray, dingy hallway,
It's not going to be about Kobe getting 45 points a night. It's going to be about how are we going to use all the talents to do what we have to do to take a team apart.
It's not exactly the way you want to have a team win a game, but when you have to win a game, it's great to have that weapon to be able to do that.
It's just a personal challenge for him to attack the whole team.
It's just fun to have Mark in the league. He's easy to tweak.
