brand elton excellent figure foul glad trying
We're glad he got in foul trouble. He's an excellent ballplayer. Just to see him and Elton Brand go at it, trying to figure each other out, that was magnificent.
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.
corey deny elton
Elton is our horse. No one will deny that. But we need to get Corey back. We need Z back. We need all of our guys.
short shot
I don't think he tipped it. I just shot it short. I shot it short over a 7-foot guy.
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.
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.
dictated game lost mirror team three win
Everyone on this team has to take a look in the mirror and be accountable for what they do. They dictated the whole game - probably 45 minutes. Down the stretch, we made some plays. It's a win in our column, we had lost three in a row. We'll take it.
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.
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.
