It is very disappointing. He was finally getting the bounce back in his step, but we just gotta hope it's not serious and move on.
bounce build couple everybody last rhythm step trying
It didn't look good. It's very disappointing. You try to get everybody healthy. We're trying to build a rhythm and he kind of had a bounce to his step the last couple of games.
against ball bounce cleveland concerned fourth goals good hot lose shoot three tonight
It's a combination of things. Against Cleveland in the first game, we didn't shoot the ball well. Against Chicago, they were a little more aggressive. Tonight they got hot at the right time. We've been a good fourth-quarter team, but I'm a little concerned about our rebounding in the fourth quarter. One of our goals was not to lose three in a row. We've bounced back all year, so we've got to bounce back now.
easy forefront playoff trade transition
I think what this trade does is put us, hopefully, in the forefront of being a playoff team. We want to make the transition easy for Andrew.
led stop transition
Our turnovers led to their transition and we didn't do much to stop them.
ask foul good job kobe shots terrific
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.
adjustment far game joe limited managing minutes period playing save until
Joe is still playing limited minutes and he's still in an adjustment period as far as managing the game. And managing if you want to save his (last) 2 or 3 minutes until the end of the game or not.
both date joe looked return track
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.
michael played taking terrific
Michael played a terrific game. It was entertaining, but I'm not taking much consolation in that.
calls carter far good job possible shoot stopping
With a four-point lead, we didn't do a good enough job of stopping Carter down the stretch. You want to make him shoot as far out as possible and keep him away from the basket. He got a lot of calls going to the basket.
anyone both foul line physical san saw teams
Yeah, that's about how I saw it. Them and San Antonio are probably the two most physical teams in the league, yet both of them go to the foul line more than anyone else.
february games good happens home march month separate strong time
We need March to be a good month for us. Between home games and everything else, we need March to be a good month. We were one game under .500 for February and around that in January, so we need to come on strong in March and see what happens in April. But this is the time that we should be able to separate a little bit.
bobby guys michael rely whether
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25 or 30 points. Whether it's Bobby or Mo or T.J. (Ford), or we get Toni back, or our big guys inside, it can't come from one guy.
michael rely
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25, 30 points, and we've done that all year. It can't come from one guy, it has to be contributions from everybody.
