I think he's going to come out and be more aggressive.
crashing offensive pace run
We can play the same pace we want, but some of that has to do with them (the Wizards) just crashing the offensive glass. You can't run if you can't get a rebound.
build momentum
We're all professional enough to know we need to build some momentum going into the playoffs, because we've been struggling.
beat job position strange supposed
We didn't do our job defensively. You put yourself in position for something strange happening. That team, we're supposed to beat by 20.
battle deal engage hope rest score series shoot somebody team understand
We were going to try to engage him in a 1-on-1 battle and let him shoot as many times (as) he wanted and hope that the rest of his team won't be able to help, and that's what happened. In a series like this, you have to understand that and be professional enough to be able to deal with somebody who can score that much.
game remember
I don't remember Game 4. That's how you have to be. You have to let it go.
board drawing
I don't know. We'll have to go back to the drawing board and see what we can get done for Sunday.
bear grin guys man similar superstars time today understand
I don't know, man. It's tough. Just understand that your time will come. A lot of guys who are superstars today went through similar situations, so you just have to grin and bear it.
aggressive assume certain expect guys involved kobe last looking sure trying
I would assume the more aggressive Kobe will be out. I'm sure he'll be trying to still get other guys involved to a certain degree, but I expect him to be looking for his more than last game.
community credit guy helped special
I got to give a lot of credit to the (staff) around here who really helped me get out in the community and do some things. It's something special for me, because I was a guy who never got much recognition for anything around this league.
becomes game high size teams trap
If we can play the way we want to play, we can do it without (size). But if teams trap us into their game or take us out of fours, that's when size becomes a factor. It's important for us to keep it at a high tempo.
animals team wounded
I don't have a whole lot to say about this one. That was a team that was hungry. . . . Sometimes, the wounded animals are the most dangerous.
coach
I don't know what (the problem) is; I'm not a coach.
definitely excited healthy last piece puzzle ready sure
We're excited about what we have already, but we feel getting that last piece of the puzzle will put us over the hump. We want to make sure that he's healthy and ready to give us everything he can give us. We're definitely excited to get him back in the lineup, without a doubt.
