He's got a lot of kid in him, ... He's fun to be around. |
He's got to fight his way through it. He's got to get rebounds, defend, (get) loose balls and pass. Eventually, it'll all work itself out. |
He's just doing so much, it's hard to be critical of anything. We've put the ball in his hands time after time after time at the end, you almost want to give it to someone else and have someone else carry part of the load. |
I can't imagine that he'd play. It's pretty sore. |
I can't try to take the top seven guys and run them 45 minutes. I don't think that's where we are at this stage. We're trying to integrate, get the young guys in, see what we have, see what we can do, see what has to be done, see how things get. |
I challenged them a little bit at halftime to get more aggressive, which is what they did, ... When we get aggressive, good things happen. What you saw in the second half is how we need to play. |
I don't feel smarter, ... I certainly have a much better grasp. It seems more normal to me now. We're way, way ahead from where we were a year ago. |
I don't know enough about the whole thing to know what playing would do. It's important for them to be with us. I think we need to teach them as much as we can, learn from the older players how to be a pro. |
I don't know how much more I can ask for from our guys. We battled tough. Kobe just keeps coming at you. We just need to finish it out. |
I don't know how much more I can ask of the guys. Our guys played their asses off. |
I like that lineup. I think it's a lineup that's good for us. We're difficult to defend and it gives us a different look. |
I sure liked him tonight, ... If he does that, he's going to play and play more than 10 minutes. |
I think Ellis is an explosive athlete. |
I think in the proper context, they'll be fine. It would be unusual that the five guys that aren't starting are as good as the five guys that are starting. But I think each of the guys in their own right has things they do for you. |
I think our players deserved that win. We've been through so many games where at the end we haven't made a play and now Jason steps up and hits a huge shot. |
