I want to congratulate Phil on returning to coach the Lakers. He is one of the premier coaches. I wish him the very best.
I want to congratulate Phil on returning to coach the Lakers, ... He is one of the premier coaches. I wish him the very best.
I'm very educated and can give you somewhat of a vocabulary, but I don't get to the philosophical side.
I'm going to practice Tuesday and see how hard I can go, and the true test is always the next day after that. We'll just wait until Tuesday and then we'll just see what happens.
I'm just doing what I've been taught by my parents to do, ... This is the right thing to do, and I'm trying to urge other people to do it.
I had to apologize to the coach and the team. It was a terrible performance by me.
It's very, very frustrating. But we still had our opportunities to win the game. We just made too many mistakes, mistakes you can't make in this building.
They have rules that they write down. I just want them to enforce them consistently . Like I know, I got tackled under the basket. If I had done that, they would have given me a flagrant foul.
We just need to develop some type of consistency.
We wanted to power the ball inside. We did that and the whole team played good tonight. We played good defense. The team is playing pretty well right now.
It was very frustrating. However, I knew when I saw (official) Bob Delaney out there it would be trouble. You just can't make the mistakes that we did and win in this building.
I got into foul trouble early and never got into the flow of the game. The foul trouble is very frustrating, and I knew when I saw (referee) Bob Delaney I was going to be in trouble anyway. We did still have chances to win the game; we just made mistakes you can't make in this building.
I was running the court very well, getting the ball and making the aggressive move. I'm still missing two or three jump hooks that I don't usually miss. I'll get it back.
I would say Detroit, Indiana, Cleveland, Jersey, darn near every good, solid team in the East. The Lakers, I think it's more of a TV-rating rivalry than a real rivalry. If we could both make it to the Finals a couple of years in a row, then it could be a real rivalry.
