He creates an up-tempo game for us. I think his shooting is probably better than people anticipated.
Kobe had a terrific game. We probably did a good job on him, actually -- after the way he started off. He made his foul shots down the stretch, but for 2 1-2 quarters, we did as good a job as you could ask for.
Michael played a terrific game. It was entertaining, but I'm not taking much consolation in that.
Beating Dallas, as good a team as they are, is nice,
From what I read, I think it's a reasonable dress code.
It was the first time all night where we let (James) go away from the screen. All the help was to the screen.
They obviously made Mike a priority. They didn't give him any open looks.
Joe and Charlie's rehabs are going well, but we haven't even looked at a return date for those two guys. They're both on track and where we want them to be.
I've always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the way Toni plays the game. In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.
I told the team before the game that I really felt our offense would come even though we were missing Michael, and we had to focus on the defensive end of the court to win the game.
I'd like to be able to put him off the ball and have him catch the ball with a live dribble. He's so good with pick and rolls, I'd like to get him in different pick and roll situations rather than just coming down and running it. It just adds to our game.
They complement each other well. I think it's a benefit to Mo and to T.J. that they're there for each other and they're able to play with each other.
I always hesitate to go too far (ahead on the schedule).
It was a tough game. And we pressed for 36 minutes. In the fourth game in five nights, to show commitment to winning a game we needed to have, the guys showed a lot of heart and character.
