That's a higher pace, higher fatigue rate, particularly when you play against this team. So it's important for us to understand how to do that.

We want him out there. We want their full team out there to play, so you earn what you win.

Determined, dedicated, disciplined. I think he's ready to play. For Kobe, it's about re-establishing his dominance in the game.

That is what happens when teams play with desperation and the other team comes out and doesn't play at the same level. We just got beat to the ball too many times and they were active and aggressive. They beat us with the nature of the play.

Come back. Join us when you're ready and we're ready to go on with you -- or without you.

The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
