bind blame kobe points score shooting shots
I put Kobe in a bind out there. He has to score 40 points just for us to win. I don't blame him for shooting 40 shots some nights. We should be embarrassed as a team. I know I am.
power
Right now you have a lot of power forwards who have small-forward athleticism and abilities,
city couple lake salt tough
Kirilenko must have thought he was in Salt Lake City tonight. A couple of times he made tough shots.
best fighting game helps kobe lying open played player trying wakes
Kobe helps me too, because if I'm ever lying back too much, him trying to get open or him fighting wakes me up. Kobe's game is like smelling salts. If you're lying back, he's going to get you up. He's the best player I've ever played with.
definitely island strong zone
Kobe, he has really strong will. When he's in the zone like that, he's definitely on an island by himself.
games good kobe offensive points puts seem win
Some games you have to do the right thing basketball-wise to win and we can't seem to do that. We don't play a good offensive game and we can't win. That puts Kobe in a bind. He's got to get 35 or 40 points for us to win. We should be embarrassed. I know I am.
feeling man
My man is feeling it. He's got it cooking.
aggressive ball finish great job love protecting throw trying underneath
That was a great move. He's real athletic, so you can just throw the ball by the rim and he'll go up and finish it. We're trying to find him. He's real aggressive underneath the basket. He's protecting our paint, and we love the job that he's doing.
bad beat good lose
When you play good defense, you give yourself opportunities to beat teams. When you play bad defense, you give yourself opportunities to lose to any team.
best offensive
Without our best offensive player, we've got to play better defense.
happen
We're over it. Everybody's over it in this organization. (Nuggets fans) should have been over it. (It) didn't happen to them. I don't know why they take it so personally.
game last
This should be a confidence-booster for our team, especially after the game last night.
aggressive easy free needed shots stay throw
We needed this game, so I just wanted to stay aggressive around the boards, find the basket, get some easy shots and go to the free throw line.
lift light relax steak
We get to have a light practice, lift a little weights, have a steak and relax a little bit.
