This is where we want to be, we've been looking forward to the second season all through the season. It doesn't matter who we play. We're ready.
|
This wasn't any kind of statement -- you make statements in the playoffs. This was just playing a game against a very good team.
|
We couldn't leave it in their hands.
|
We don't see ourselves as four All-Stars. We see ourselves as one unit. It's like five fingers on a hand. You can do more damage together as a fist than spread out flat.
|
We got the moral victory with the two wins this year. But they got the overall by getting us in Game 7 last year. We're just trying to get back to there, and get back what's ours.
|
We have an agenda. We want the hardware back.
|
We just couldn't make a shot. We had to buckle down and play some defense.
|
We just have a little bit more freedom. L.B. is a more technical coach, who wants you to run your sets, but Flip says that if we see an opening, we should go ahead and attack.
|
We just knuckled down a little bit. Just stepped it up on D a little bit more and boxed out. Just made a little bit of hustle plays.
|
We knew if we wanted to win the game, we had to slow them down a little bit.
|
We knew if we were going to win this game we were going to have to go out there and play hard and make those diving plays, those hustle plays. And that's what we did to get back into the game and took it from there.
|
We know it's going to be a playoff atmosphere. We only played them once, and we can't sit here and brag and have a chip on our shoulder like, 'We put them out last year and we beat them early this year.' Because you can be beat on any given night in this league.
|
We started the season with that chip from last year. We had to wait all summer and then wait through this long regular season. All of that other stuff was just in the way. This, the playoffs, is what we've been waiting for.
|
We still don't get the respect we deserve. It's all right, though. Hey, it's cool. For the last so-and-so years, we've been under the rug. They swept us under the rug and the last two years we went to the Finals.
|
We told ourselves to turn it up and get a couple of stops to take over the game.
