closet guy love three voting
I have been voting for this guy as an all-star for three years. I am no closet fan. I am an out-there fan. I love the way he plays, and he is a guy you really fear.
coming game needs rhythm
His conditioning for the game is getting where it needs to be and his rhythm is coming back.
came clear early minutes six
Jamaal came in early and went and shot, said he wanted to give it a shot, but after six minutes it was clear he wasn't 100 percent.
disrupt frequency group high momentum stick
The group that was out there was going good. I didn't want to disrupt that momentum at that point. You're getting into a high frequency of games. If you find a group that's clicking, you have to stick with them.
finding gave great guys hanging ourselves played stepped
I thought our guys showed a lot guts, hanging and finding a way to claw back in the game. Jermaine O'Neal was great and we had a lot of other guys who stepped up and played big. We had a chance, we gave ourselves a chance.
certainly everybody happy side speak winning
I think I speak for everybody when I say that we like winning better than we like losing. We're certainly happy to get on the winning side of a game. It's been a while.

He's here to play, he's here to win, ... His moods are much more affected by winning and losing than anything else. I love having guys like that.

He was one of my favorite players to work with because of how hard he played and the things he does on the court.
couple fought gotten guys last stops tough
That's a tough one, a tough one to lose. It's too bad, the guys really fought hard. If we had gotten a couple more stops the last couple of minutes, it would have been a different story.
couple days guys health situation until
I won't know what our health situation is going to be until probably Sunday. We have a couple of days to try to get guys healthier.
coming meaningful mind
It's not what we had in mind coming in, but it's a meaningful short-term goal.
best bryant great kobe league maybe player
Kobe Bryant is a great player. Maybe the best player in the league right now. He is that good.
coming energy gives giving gordon guy instant last mobility move proved scoring size year
That move gives them more scoring off the bench. Gordon is a guy that proved last year he's instant offense. They have Chandler also coming off the bench, giving them size and mobility and energy there.
boots bounce character earned furious guys last loud night poise run strapped
You've got to have character to bounce back from a disappointing night like last night. You've got to have character and poise to withstand a furious run in a very loud building. You've just got to keep your boots strapped up and keep playing. Our guys did that and they earned the win.
