It was a poorly refereed game. I know there's a lot of pressure on the refs when they come here because Mark (Cuban) has them review the tapes and send them into the league. |
It was a real disappointing defensive effort by our team. So we talked a lot about that. |
It was a really nice game. He did a lot of things well for us tonight. He has been saying he has been getting more comfortable playing in the offense. We asked him to do a variety of things, and that sparked his game tonight. His rebounding has been a great asset for us. |
It was awful. He gave us a terrible game. He just didn't give us any productive minutes at all. |
It was designed for him (Bryant) to catch the ball and find what he could find available. I have to give him credit that he can shoot that shot. I have to allow his judgment to be so he felt like he could do that at the time. I wanted him to penetrate. |
It was like the third quarter would never end. I thought we would never get through it. Larry helped by getting off the court. |
It was pretty difficult to watch for a while. We collected ourselves and played. Full-court pressure is not an easy thing to do. We must have given up five or six baskets. |
It was probably here in Atlanta, the last time it happened. |
It was quite an exhibition for three quarters Kobe put on tonight. I've seen a few 60-point ballgames in my time, but none of them had been done by the third quarter. |

It was the way the game played out. We had guys open, there were situations that were going right. |
It will affect our season, there's no doubt about it. And we're going to live with it, ... We're going to deal with it. And we're fortunate to have made some moves that will help us, regardless of what happens in the Kobe situation. |
It's 1-1. We haven't done anything yet. Now it's time to come home and see if we can't win on our court and get the actual lead in the series. |
It's a confidence builder for this team. It shows we can overcome odds. |
It's a tall order, without a doubt. But that's the key to this series is how you're going to slow down the guy that makes this offense generate points and close out on the guys that are getting wide-open shots. |
