We found out that there is no substitute for human contact.
That was something to behold -- it was another level. At halftime we were disturbed about the way we were playing. We came out, and Kobe just found a way to do everything.
I thought we were despondent when we came out of that regular time, going into overtime and played like it the first three minutes, but we found some energy at the end.
I thought we had a really good defensive first half. We found momentum at the beginning of the second quarter and established a lead.
we'd visit an art museum in Houston, or a spectacular shoreline vista in Oregon, or attend a political lecture in Boston. And so I found myself getting a special kind of education just witnessing Bill's grasp of what makes our society tick and how business gets done.
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.
I am pleased with Kobe and how he controlled the offense. We had people open because they were doubling him and that got some people open and we found them.
We remind our players that this is something that was a special night in a heated situation but it's not going to be a steady diet for us. The onus on Kobe is to stay inside the team offense. The onus on the players is to pick it up a little bit better.
We're exploring life without Shaq, ... and enjoying it, too.
We're not amazed, to say the least. We are enthralled by it, and it's a beautiful thing to see, but it's something that we've grown accustomed to over the years.
We're a ways away from being that next level of NBA team.
We want him out there. We want their full team out there to play, so you earn what you win.
When you start out a ball game and the first thing they do is call an offensive foul on him for a nonexistent foul, you know the kid doesn't have a chance out there playing. The referees just give him nothing. It's embarrassing.
Wow, how can you lose a ball game like that. I just don't understand sometimes the capabilities of this team to disappoint.
