I want to play in the playoffs. I don't want to be sitting at home and they're saying, 'Well, Lamar didn't do enough.' When we lose, especially when I don't feel like I played the game I should have played and my man is getting 36 points ... I don't rest easy. |
I'll take the blame for that one. I got a little overzealous, I tried to get to the rack, and they got momentum from the charge. |
I'll take the blame for that. I should have let the clock run down more. It was a flop call on a team that was dead. I gave them life. He drew the charge, that's what Mr. Crawford saw. It gave them momentum. |
I'm disappointed to hear that because he's my friend. Sometimes, we tend to do things at the spur of the moment that we wish we could take back because it hurts our image. But I'm pretty sure he was just a little upset emotionally because they were playing the Clippers. |
I'm kind of lost for words. It was a pleasure just to watch him out here. |
I'm not scared to shoot it. |
I'm pretty sure if I can be on the court the majority of the time, if Kobe can be on the court most of the time, if we can stay healthy, we can make the postseason, |

If this were football, I would be listed as probable. |
If we play the right way, if we follow our leaders, our coach and Kobe, then we should be a playoff team. |
Inside presence, being physical, that's what we need from him. The guy's got the best body in the NBA _ he's got to throw it around a little bit. |
It could have been called a foul. But if it's not, I guess that means I just didn't go hard enough. I thought it was a tough move. |
It is just game-by-game now. You have to win. My concentration level was high tonight. I've just got an aggressive mind-set right now. I didn't really do anything differently tonight - still rebounded and drove to the hole. |
It sounds good, something like that. |
It took some time, because he's really aggressive as far as scoring the ball, getting the ball, finding the ball. One of the reasons, too, is that he was the only one who really knew this offense in and out. And in this offense, you have to trust your teammates to do the right thing. Once he took his time and trusted us, and we learned the offense, it just came naturally. |
