Pull the boots up

[victor steinbok]

This is not a particularly inspired observation, but it's bothered me
since last night. During the press conference (Q&A, really), following
the loss in the fifth game of the NBA finals, Kobe Bryant identified
the goal for the remainder of the series--the team will just have to
"pull the boots up and get to work". It struck me as an odd
combination, although it's rather obvious what was intended.
