I've learned the following season is always tougher. We always get everybody's best game. But understanding that collectively is a whole different thing. It's not like we can go out there and say we are what we are and walk through the season.
We attack the game in many different ways. Some nights it's interior, but a lot of it is our pick-and-roll and finding our shooters. If they're going to play the pick-and-roll a certain way or double team in the post, our shooters are going to have wide-open shots, and we have some of the best in the league.
I've just tried to do my part as best I can, and down at the end there, I was lucky enough to get that stop, rebound and seal it.
We know what we have left, and we just have to kind of get it done. We still have a chance to end up with one of our best seasons yet, so we just have to turn that corner and get back on a roll before the playoffs come around.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
They're playing very well, probably the best basketball in the league right now. We're going to their house where they are even tougher and we haven't been that great on the road. So we're up for one heck of a challenge, and it will be a great time for it.
Tony was great tonight and as solid as he has been all season. The Hornets shot the ball better than we would have liked them to tonight, but overall this was a good win.
It was a huge key. He really hurt us last time. We decided to come after him and make them change their game a little bit.
They approached us with the problem, and we fixed it. We dont see any of that as a breach of contract.
We didn't have the edge we needed tonight. They shot 50 percent from the floor. We need to shore up our defense right now going into the final few games of the season.
Bruce is always awesome, it doesn't matter who (he's defending), Kobe or anybody else in the league, ... He's going to make them work for every point that they get. ... He was in (Bryant's) face every shot he took.
Beno has been playing great for us. With Nick out right now, Beno is getting a lot of minutes and he has really responded well.
Everything's not clicking yet, but we're heading that way. It was a great learning experience today being able to fight back and staying with each other.
I've already gotten a bunch, so I'm hoping it will clear up a bit.
