I can't go 1 for 12 and expect my team to win.

From the first day of camp, I said this team could win 50, and we've got a chance to do it. We've had our ups and downs, we've gone through some things with all the injuries, but my guys never give up.

I was always a Laker fan - Magic Johnson, James Worthy, my main man Norm Nixon. Kobe Bryant's my favorite player. It would be the battle of Hollywood - it would be great for the city.
affects ball bit excuse expect normally percent shots time
It affects me a little bit because I'm used to having the ball 90 percent of the time on the court, but I can't use that as an excuse at all. I've got to find a way. I'm getting shots that I normally make, but they're not going in. I just can't go 1-for-12 and expect us to be successful.
depend player stepping
He's become a player who's not just out there playing, but someone we depend on. We depend on him. He's been stepping up for us.

When we don't come out with energy, we get our butts kicked. If we're going to be a good team, we can't come out and lay eggs like this on the road.
box game hustle win wins
We didn't come out with the aggressiveness we need to be successful. We need to win the hustle game and we didn't. When you see who wins the hustle game, you don't need to look at the box score.
coaching expects feeling mike playing year
Mike expects so much from us, and I think it's the first year that he really has that feeling it's something special. He has the right to feel that way because he's been around for a long, long time, coaching and playing the game. He understands what it's going to take for us to be successful.
five harder knew played point seven stops takes win
We made a statement. They just played harder in the first half, but we showed that a win at this point takes more than just playing. We got seven consecutive stops and scored five times and I knew we were going to win.

Well, sorry for them, but we're not going to be in the lottery this year. If this team doesn't have injuries, we're not going to be a part of that.
defense effort game gave team took win won
How are you not going to get up to play in the Garden. I try to win and I took what the defense gave me. It's a team effort that's why we won the game tonight.

He told me it wasn't so much about the organization and the history here. It was about the direction of the team. This is an up-coming team. He told me I'd have the most satisfying year of my career here.

He's very solid and underrated. He doesn't mind that as long as he gets respect from his peers.
