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.
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.
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.
digging entire fourth good hole playing second third
We got off to a good start, but we were digging out of a hole the entire second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter. We've got to keep playing through it.
carter good
We didn't do a good job, obviously, of guarding Carter down the stretch. He got to the rim two times. It was too easy.
approach ball good rhythm timely turn
When we didn't turn the ball over, we got some good opportunities. Michael's approach was terrific. He got in little more of a rhythm and made some timely shots.
chance definitely felt good won
We felt if we won this game, there was good chance we'd have the tie-breaker at the end of the season. That was definitely on our minds.
anyone confuse good half kings lack offensive plays team
I don't think anyone should confuse when a team plays a very good offensive team like the Kings and they have a first half like they did, it's not because of our lack of fire.
board couple create dangerous good hang kept lead moments onto pleased points shot
I was pleased with the way we played. Seattle's a dangerous team, the way they can put points on the board quickly, because they can create turnovers and their three-point shot is effective. It was good to get it -- we had a couple moments -- but to hang onto a double-digit lead for most of the game, it's good we kept that margin.
adds ball catch coming good pick rather roll running situations
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.
arenas best double figures good improved leading left michael shame team year
Gilbert Arenas has had a good year, but I think Michael being left off the All-Star team is very disappointing. He's having the best year of his career. He's leading a team that hasn't been under .500 all year. He's scored in double figures every game. He's improved every part of his game. And I think it's a shame that he's not on the team.
five good home legs tights
The good thing about tights is, it makes even 48-year-old legs look better. But I would say of the five of us, I don't think any of them were anything to write home about.
beating good team
Beating Dallas, as good a team as they are, is nice,
available force good mature offensive score time touches
Right now he doesn't need to be an offensive force for us. He made some good plays, was available on penetration. We don't need him to score every time he touches the ball. He's very mature with his approach. That showed.
