You have to get into the right mind-set. It took me forever when I first started coming off the bench. You have to learn how to stay loose and stay warm. It was tough for me at first. You become used to it. Just like old hat after a while.
I hadn't seen the spin move in a long time, and he brought that out. He looked really good. I hope he can maintain it.
I had never seen him so quick before. He took off one time, and I was like, 'Gosh.' He's been carrying us for a long time down the stretch here, but he was amazing.
Oh, look at this right here, maybe I should put this one up and win this game!
It's very important. There are a lot of good teams in the West.
You have a lot of guys who came back after injuries like that, they're good but they're not as good as when they left.
You play too many games of basketball, and you're going to have situations like that happen. You just have to go out and drop it and just play. There's always another day.
If they had about 20 more games in the season, you know they'd be in the playoffs. Shoot, if they started the season all over, they might end up with the No.2 seed (in the East).
More days off helps me out more now than in the past. Then I wanted to practice so I could keep everything working, mechanically and skills-wise. Now I really like the days off. But we needed to work on some things, especially our rebounding and boxing out. So it was good to get back to work.
Nothing against Tony, but there's other guys playing great. Tracy (McGrady) has to be there. It's in Houston. And then you got Kobe and Ray Allen. He's just got some stiff competition.
She's good. At first a lot of guys challenged her on calls, like 'Come on,' but she stood up for herself. That says a lot about her. Guys respect her. ... She doesn't back down from anybody.
When you burn a bridge sometimes -- it doesn't matter if it's a significant player on a team, especially a significant player like Kobe -- you might say let bygones be bygones, (but) there's always that underlying, 'Oh, you talked about me,' Me personally, I don't think it'll work out. But who knows? Crazier things have happened.
It really hurts when you get some questionable calls down the stretch.
I told some of the coaches at practice the other day that my biggest pet peeve is when, as soon as the other team goes small, it seems like you've got to change (the lineup). Give your big guys a chance first.
