This is a team[Philadelphia] that, right now looks like we will be playing in the first round. They are a difficult team. They have guys that can get going. Of course they have Allen Iverson who is probably the best scorer over the past 10 years of this league. |
This is going to be a great game for the fans. It's going to be a competitive game. But I don't know how much bearing it will have for either team down the road. I mean, if we go out and dominate them, I don't know what bearing that would have come playoff time, and same thing the other way. |
This is our seventh game in seven different cities in 10 days. This has been a rough stretch and I think the common thing that has happened to us the last three games is that our shooting percentage in the second half is going down, which is usually a sign of dead legs. |
This is step one, but we don't want to be at step 10 right now anyway. We have a few weeks yet before we want to be at step 10. |
This is the best atmosphere you can have in an NBA arena. You know, sometimes our guys get bored. But they love to play in front of people. And coming in here, with 22,000 people (113 straight sell-outs), they love it. |
This is the third of our five steps, but this one might be the most important of the first four, because of the 2-2-1-1-1 format in the conference finals. |
This is the third of our five steps. |
This is what basketball was meant to be like -- play defense, play team basketball, not turn the ball over and make plays for each other. |
This season, as much as anything, has been a grind. When you win 63 games and how you've played, it's as much as mental grind as it is physical. |
This was a big game for both teams. They're fighting San Antonio to try to win their division and we're fighting to make sure we maintain and keep our rhythm. |
This was a game I wish I could have been in the stands, just sitting there watching. This was a great basketball game between two teams who played hard and with a lot of emotion. It was a very entertaining game. |
This was a good overall game for us. We did what we said we were looking to do with these last few games. We were sharp, we played a lot of people and were able to keep the starters' minutes down. |
This was a three-game swing. We get an extra win and they get an extra loss. |
This was a workmanlike performance coming off a big win. That's what you like to see. |
This, ... is a no-fluff team. |
