track winning
We need to go on a four- or five-game winning streak. We're going to get right back on track if we can do that.
shot win
We had a shot to win the game. It just didn't go down for us.
bit change execution floor missed needed second shots sides
We didn't make shots. We missed shots the whole second half. I thought we needed to change sides of the floor a little bit more. Execution wasn't there.
both broken good guy looked shots
Both of those shots looked good for a guy with a broken thumb.
guys mixed people playing trying
Everything is so new. We're trying to get a sense of what guys can do. So far, they've responded. Every day we've mixed it up with people playing with different people.
bad everybody figure themselves
Everybody in that (locker room) is going to have to look at themselves and try to figure out what's going on. Because this wasn't just being down, this was about as bad as it gets.
five game hoping success tonight winning won
Tonight was a really big game for us after winning in Cleveland. We have not had very much success on the road. We've been in every game but we haven't won. Now we've won two and we're hoping to keep it going on the five game trip.
brown corner forced good hard help hit kobe played points shot
Tonight, Kobe hit the big shot in the corner which he does all the time. And Kwame Brown got too many second-chance points and tip-ins because we were forced to help on guys. I think we played hard but not good enough.
came concentration felt few good great maintain ourselves played position pull stops today
We had a great trip. We played consistently, and then came out today and played very well offensively. I just felt that if we could make a few stops and maintain our concentration we could pull away. We have put ourselves in pretty good position going home.
came consistent felt good great hard ourselves played position time tonight
We had a great trip. We played consistent and then came out tonight and played very good offensively. I just felt they were going to have a hard time guarding us and that's what happened. We have put ourselves in a pretty good position going back home.
ourselves playoff position time
We've put ourselves in playoff position now, we're right there. There are expectations, and this is good, but there's no time to relax.
happens night note playoffs positive prepare tomorrow whoever
Now we are going to the playoffs on a positive note and we'll see what happens tomorrow night and prepare for whoever we play.
ahead obviously poorly quarter second stops
Obviously it was a real disappointing loss. We did very poorly offensively in the second quarter and just couldn't play well as a team. They got ahead of us and we couldn't get the stops to get into the game.
controlled obviously poorly quarter second washington
Obviously it was a real disappointing loss. We did very poorly offensively and in the second quarter we just couldn't play well as a team, Washington pretty much controlled the tempo.
