against behind bottom careful coming game good ready team teams
We weren't ready to play, bottom line. We're a young team and we lacked to play a good game against a very good team in Indiana. We can't do that coming off the All-Star break. We have to be careful with other teams right behind us in our conference.
good guys impress league nba realize teams tend wants
I think the one thing he wants to do is impress not only us, but other teams around this league to get back in this league. Once these guys are out, they tend to realize how good the NBA is - how much better it is up here - even if you're the 12th guy.
cannot defend games hard hustle involved learn stay
There's going to be games when you don't make shots. That cannot make you not defend or not hustle or not play hard on the other end of the floor. You've got to learn that in this league, OK, my shot's not falling, I can do other things to stay involved in this game and stay on the floor.
aggressive defensive extremely good knew
I knew he was extremely aggressive on the defensive end, and has a very good defensive head.
good moving rest running tired tried
We did a lot more running today, and a lot more drills and stations, so they didn't get a lot of rest today. I tried to keep it moving as much as possible. I had some tired guys. I could see that in them, which is a good thing to me because I know they're working.

We think for us and for him, it's probably the best thing to do.
great players shots
He made all the big shots at the end. That's what great players do.
He?s got a lot more years left, and he?s going to get better.
He?s a monster. That?s all I can say about him.

It made all the difference. He would have been a month behind, but he came in every day and made a lot of progress.

Great players make great plays. Kobe hit some big shots.
