You have to give that team some credit. Three-point shooting is not an easy task.
When it doesn't produce wins, that's the fine line. And then players . . . also have to feel like they're a part of it. If they are, then they play at a better level.
We figured no one would break it for another 30 years, just like it took for the Lakers' record to be broken. So, it is surprising Detroit is pushing for it.
Very much so. Things have gone well. We're going to have a relationship. We'll get done what we need this year. He's been real dedicated this summer. He'll be a captain, I don't know who will be a co-captain with him.
You get in that pressure situation where you feel like you have to win at home.
We were flat tonight. We are still not quite good enough to stay with a team like that.
We've had a couple momentum shifts throughout the course of the year, and this is what we've been talking about as a group - we want to build the momentum, because now is the time to do it. We've shown signs of this - the Houston game at the end of the road trip.
We had some dramatic plays down the stretch. Kobe stayed very well inside of what we were trying to do. We kind of died on the vine a couple of times when the shot clock was running down. Then we were able to find that penetrating pass. We were able to find a couple of things that worked for us.
We slept almost all the way through the third quarter. We're just not able to play a full game.
We talked about how passive they were in the first quarter.
There have been some things that have happened over the years that have been really special in my life, and this is one of them.
Obviously I think Chauncey Billups is really the guy that controls the throttle over there. He is an important part of their success.
Obviously the game was determined by Howard leaving so early. That took a lot of energy away from them and we played well as a group.
No. He's not. He doesn't have the base.
