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.
It (stinks) - especially because we really feel like we gave this one away. The last game we got beat pretty good. Tonight we come out and try to sure up a couple of things, and we still get a bunch of turnovers and missed free throws, and we still have a chance to win down the stretch and give it away.
We did it last year and it was fun. We got up and down. I think we had less turnovers than any other time in the game.
What they have done over the last two games is make us react to what they do, ... They have been aggressive defensively and they have got us back on our heels and they make us kind of counter what they are doing instead of them countering what we're doing.
They have a solid team. Elton is having a heck of a year. He hurt us last time, so we decided to come after him. We made it difficult for him tonight.
I didn't know if there was going to be enough time. I turned to shoot and then saw him at last second and tried to fire it to him real quick. I probably should have shot the ball.
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.
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 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.
I've already gotten a bunch, so I'm hoping it will clear up a bit.
