Michael played a terrific game. It was entertaining, but I'm not taking much consolation in that.
You kind of get in a rhythm of playing. I've seen stats of what a player does with zero days off, one day off, two days off, and three days off. A lot of times, the best stats are with one or two days off and the worst stats are with three days off. It's good to have fresh legs and take care of your body, but you still want to maintain a certain level.
We need March to be a good month for us. Between home games and everything else, we need March to be a good month. We were one game under .500 for February and around that in January, so we need to come on strong in March and see what happens in April. But this is the time that we should be able to separate a little bit.
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25 or 30 points. Whether it's Bobby or Mo or T.J. (Ford), or we get Toni back, or our big guys inside, it can't come from one guy.
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25, 30 points, and we've done that all year. It can't come from one guy, it has to be contributions from everybody.
We got the lead in the fourth quarter, but our quick shots got them back in the game. If we would have had the patience to move the ball a little bit more, we probably could have extended the lead.
We got off to a good start, but we were digging out of a hole the entire second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter. We've got to keep playing through it.
We came out in the second half and competed. To get down 18 and still have a three to tie the game, I'm proud of the way the team came back and fought. But the first half was a big disappointment.
Having all these guys come together, it's a very deep team. Getting them established and playing together on both ends of the floor is my biggest concern.
He's a great player and he did just what great players do. He was able to keep his confidence in a game where things weren't going his way.
Yeah, that's about how I saw it. Them and San Antonio are probably the two most physical teams in the league, yet both of them go to the foul line more than anyone else.
Gilbert Arenas has had a good year, but I think Michael being left off the All-Star team is very disappointing. He's having the best year of his career. He's leading a team that hasn't been under .500 all year. He's scored in double figures every game. He's improved every part of his game. And I think it's a shame that he's not on the team.
From what I read, I think it's a reasonable dress code.
I don't think anyone should confuse when a team plays a very good offensive team like the Kings and they have a first half like they did, it's not because of our lack of fire.
