I've been googling trying to understand the context of this original quote. If anybody knows exactly when it was said, please share. As far as I can tell, the context of his original comment comes from February, 2008, when the Lakers entered the month at 28-16. Sometime during the course of the month (I can't find a direct quote) he said this, and they finished the month at 41-18. So, basically he said what he needed to say to give his team a specific goal to shoot for, and it worked. No point in looking at 40-and-20 as anything more than a motivational quote for a specific team at a specific time.
That said, I think we go 3-3 over our next 6.
