Kobe Bryant is a great player. Maybe the best player in the league right now. He is that good.
deal guys plays step success three
Jamaal plays a big part of our success. We're going to have to deal with it. It's tough. We got guys that can step in. We'll re-evaluate where he's at after three games.
came clear early minutes six
Jamaal came in early and went and shot, said he wanted to give it a shot, but after six minutes it was clear he wasn't 100 percent.
defensive game guy high involved jack leaders-and-leadership players playing tonight top understood view win
Jack is such an important guy on our team. Our players view him as one of our leaders. You have to have your top players involved and playing at a high level. I thought tonight Jack understood the defensive end was going to be what was going to win the game for us.
error hard margin numbers paint points
I think it's a continuance of the same things we've said for a while. The margin of error for us is not great. They had 13 second-chance points and 50 points in the paint and those numbers are hard to overcome.
feels hope move saturday struggling tried
He tried it, but he was struggling to move out there. We'll hope he feels better Saturday (at Milwaukee).
heels night
He had us on our heels a lot of the night.
line maybe nba post shoot skill stretch
He has an NBA skill and that's that he can post up and score. He can also shoot from midrange and I think he'll be able to stretch it maybe to the NBA 3-point line down the line.
affection affinity last league liking summers type
He has an affinity for the 'everyman' type of player. He's been here the last two summers working out with summer league players. It's something he has a liking for.

career hurt sit
He desperately wanted to play. This is what you play your career for. I know it really hurt him to sit out the other night.
push time
He is doing better, but it's not the right time to push it.
games hurt johnson last played
He hurt us the last two games and we did a lot of different things on him defensively. Johnson played great.
anybody breath certainly crossed fingers guy hold hurt next ok time
He hurt it at the end when he got that put-back, so we'll hold our breath and keep our fingers crossed that he'll be OK (on Thursday) and the next day. He's going to be sore, we know that, but if anybody will play hurt, he's certainly a guy who's done it time after time.
