ball hit mistake
(The official) got in the way by mistake and the ball hit his foot. It was one of those games. We'll get it back, though.
adjusting early expect felt games hit ready surprised
I was just ready, ready for anything. I was surprised (at early success). I didn't expect to hit my first three. But I felt good, even early in the day I felt good. I've got to do a little more adjusting to the game. It will come with more games played.
guarded hit last mean wide
We lost, so it doesn't mean much how I guarded (Bryant). He hit that last shot, I was like, 'That's Kobe.' He is wide open; he is going to hit it.
happened helped hit imagine intense
He hit some big shots. Helped them win. I can imagine what he was going through. It must have been more intense for him, because it happened so suddenly.
good hit leave needed open ready shoot team
You've got to be ready at all times. They have a really good team and they showed us some things we needed to see. They can really shoot the ball. If you leave them open a little bit, they're going to hit shots.
miss missed thousand
I've said it a thousand times. Referees miss calls. They missed that one, too.
gotten involved nine
I should have gotten myself more involved in the first nine minutes. I had to have gotten myself more involved in the first quarter.
defensive intensity
Our defensive intensity wasn't there. We slacked a little bit.
ball body came
Ostertag came at me with his body. He really came and went for the body first and the ball second.
crowd fed love
Sac is different. I love Indiana, but it's different out here. The crowd is unbelievable. When I was in Indy, the crowd fed off me. Here, sometimes I wasn't even in the game, and they were going crazy.
sorted trade
There's no trade right now, but they (the Pacers) said they were going to try to get something sorted out to get the trade done.
lost move opposed playing team won
I was more disappointed that we lost as a team as opposed to playing poorly. We just have to move on and get better. The big thing is we should have won this game.
everybody felt front gave good people
It felt good to play in front of people again. They gave everybody good receptions, so I was happy.
became college feels good high school
It feels like high school again. I had a really good team, and I was a much better leader. When I got in college and the NBA, I became selfish. Now, I'm back to my high school days.
