We have a lot of players at that position and, obviously, we've got to make cuts soon. Our desire is to find a place for him and a good opportunity for him and Charlotte was a team that really and truly did want him.
I still think we have a good chance, ... I still feel that we're the odds-on favorite to be the team of destiny.
That's what happens when a team plays with some desperation.
I was very disappointed with the road trip. We had players injured and our team was not competing as hard as it could. The injuries hurt our team morale.
We have teams pressing us. We have teams that are almost in the same situation as we are. It would be great for us to step ahead of them and up the ladder in our standings.
We're not even going to discuss it. It's a basketball team and we've got to focus on what we need to do.
Wow, how can you lose a ball game like that. I just don't understand sometimes the capabilities of this team to disappoint.
We want him out there. We want their full team out there to play, so you earn what you win.
We remind our players that this is something that was a special night in a heated situation but it's not going to be a steady diet for us. The onus on Kobe is to stay inside the team offense. The onus on the players is to pick it up a little bit better.
When he's shooting well, I encourage him. We're trying to measure personal achievement with team goals.
You have to give that team some credit. Three-point shooting is not an easy task.
We were flat tonight. We are still not quite good enough to stay with a team like that.
The team played well enough to win it, but they didn't finish. When you're on the road, you have to do some things to win, because it's a bit extra special.
Right now, we need to focus on who we are as a basketball club. I don't live with expectations, so there's nothing there I can say I expected. We're just out here kind of treading water as a basketball team right now. We're neither hot nor cold, neither fish nor fowl.
