fast guard guys hard helps high last played since tempo time
That tempo was as high and fast as we've been since the last time we played them. That tempo helps us. It's hard to guard guys when they're in transition. We weren't able to do it either.
bogged guard guys hard helps tempo transition
That tempo helps us. We don't get bogged down and it's hard to guard guys when you're in transition all night.
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.
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.
guys pick understand week
We're not doing anything different. Guys understand that if it's going to be a week or a month, we're going to have to pick it up without him.
beating dropped four gets guys ok plays respects shots though win
He gets 50 and we win the game. At the end of the day, I am OK with that. Even though it (stinks) to have 50 dropped on you, if we win, I've done my job. I really don't give a (darn) if he respects me. If I can keep him preoccupied on beating me 1-on-1, then the four other guys aren't getting shots and that plays into our hands.
across everybody guys happens hard knocking moments
We had a lot of guys knocking down shots. That's what happens when you have productivity across the board. It's hard for one guy to go cold. Everybody is going to have their moments of being hot.
allowed guy pushes pushing
I'm pushing, pushing the guy as much as I can to get him a little. So when he pushes me, you're not allowed to do that. I'm going to fall.
best felt reinvent weather
The best thing is we never felt down about anything. We just weather it and reinvent ourselves.
add elated great opportunity whatever
I'm elated to have an opportunity to come there and play with that cast. I think I can add to an already great team. I just want to come in and help, whatever it takes.
ball fit gets jones plays runs shoots system
I'm a big Jones supporter. Every year, he gets better. I think he can fit right into the system because he plays different positions, shoots the ball well and runs well.
involved until
I hadn't been involved in too many like this until I got here.
ball incredible movement open transition wide
It was one of those nights. We were able to get out on transition and the ball movement was incredible so everyone got wide open looks.
defense double kurt position post puts
We have to double the post now. When you have Kurt down there, you don't have to do that. It makes you have to rotate and puts you out of position on defense and for rebounds.
