aware deal everybody hard knows level playing shots time
Everybody knows he's playing at an unbelievable level right now. All we can do is be aware of where he is, every time down the court, and try to make his shots as hard as possible. That's not really a big deal for Kobe, but you've got to try.

I was really worried about this game, obviously, playing a team that has not won yet, ... I knew they were going to come out and play hard. They gave a great effort and the longer you let them stay around, hang around, the more confidence builds, the more opportunity they have to win.

I knew his back was bothering him a little bit, but tonight he didn't feel like it was good enough to go. It was literally right before the game.
catching corner moving
I'm not catching it in a corner as much where I can't do as much. If I'm moving around and get it out on the floor, I can be more productive.
brand came elton good guys hand hangover harder hot played pleased road rode second
I wasn't pleased with the way we started tonight. I don't know if it was a hangover from the road trip, but in the second half, the guys came out and played much harder and did a good job. We had a hot hand with Elton Brand and we just rode it.
bench bit bring fire starting
I thought I could bring something different to the table. Having that firepower off the bench is great. We're starting to get our fire back and getting a little bit of an identity.
