affects ball bit excuse expect normally percent shots time
It affects me a little bit because I'm used to having the ball 90 percent of the time on the court, but I can't use that as an excuse at all. I've got to find a way. I'm getting shots that I normally make, but they're not going in. I just can't go 1-for-12 and expect us to be successful.
downs intensity lack tend ups
I think as long as we have intensity, then we'll be fine. All ups and downs come from lack of intensity, and as long as we have intensity for 48 minutes, we're fine. When we lack that intensity, we tend to struggle.
communication properly result second zone
I think it was our communication on defense. When we do that, we're at our best. When we don't communicate, we get our butts whipped. It's just that simple. In the first half, we weren't communicating properly and they were having their way with us. In the second half, we went to the zone and communicated better, and the result was a 20-point win.
goes monkey season
Our season goes up and down and we are going to find a way to get it back. We don't have a monkey on our back. We have a gorilla.
battle fan favorite great hollywood james kobe magic main man norm
I was always a Laker fan - Magic Johnson, James Worthy, my main man Norm Nixon. Kobe Bryant's my favorite player. It would be the battle of Hollywood - it would be great for the city.
coaching expects feeling mike playing year
Mike expects so much from us, and I think it's the first year that he really has that feeling it's something special. He has the right to feel that way because he's been around for a long, long time, coaching and playing the game. He understands what it's going to take for us to be successful.
affect felt seen time
That was my first time ever doing that. I've seen it done a lot of times. It did affect me because everything I did, I felt it.
corey proud team
Who would have thought that about us before the season. I'm proud of where we're at. But we need our whole team together. Corey can't do what I can do, I can't do what Corey can do.
allow ourselves playing start
We can't allow ourselves to get down like that before we start playing basketball.
lottery sorry team
Well, sorry for them, but we're not going to be in the lottery this year. If this team doesn't have injuries, we're not going to be a part of that.
five harder knew played point seven stops takes win
We made a statement. They just played harder in the first half, but we showed that a win at this point takes more than just playing. We got seven consecutive stops and scored five times and I knew we were going to win.
box game hustle win wins
We didn't come out with the aggressiveness we need to be successful. We need to win the hustle game and we didn't. When you see who wins the hustle game, you don't need to look at the box score.
eggs good lay
When we don't come out with energy, we get our butts kicked. If we're going to be a good team, we can't come out and lay eggs like this on the road.
chance gone guys team ups win
From the first day of camp, I said this team could win 50, and we've got a chance to do it. We've had our ups and downs, we've gone through some things with all the injuries, but my guys never give up.
