Our particular team right now is not a team that does well resting on any kind of sense of accomplishment. We still have to drive ourselves and drive the team forward.
I'm sure he's going to juice up, as far as playing against Kobe.
I know these teams have to have an answer, and it's time for the draft to commence and things to happen. I'll be off the queue here in another day or two.
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.
That is what happens when teams play with desperation and the other team comes out and doesn't play at the same level. We just got beat to the ball too many times and they were active and aggressive. They beat us with the nature of the play.
They know they can get scoring from three players every night, and sometimes all five can score. It's an all-inclusive thing.
I'm going to address the team and try to set down some parameters as to how we're going to deal with it, ... This is something now that we seriously have to take as another type of an issue, where there's a certain sense of where our privacy lies and where the boundaries lie, that we're going to have to address and we're going to have to be serious about it.
I'm going to copyright myself so he can have that distinction, sell them off.
I'm not going to weigh in on that one. I think that water is a little deep. I think that he measures himself against a season. I've always given him credit for that and he knows what the end-goal is. He's got a tremendous amount of pride and I anticipate that's a process that he's going through. He'll be there when playoffs are going and he'll probably be at his peak at that time.
I have never seen anything like that. It was pretty impressive.
I'm not the panacea for this basketball club, ... It's going to take plenty of hard work and dedication over the course of the summer to change the face of this team.
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.
