This game is about proverb

 This game is about heart and being competitive. It doesn't matter what you did in the regular season, it's about what you do in the playoffs. ... It's embarrassing. I've never been swept in the playoffs.

 Everybody has zero wins and zero losses. I've been on other teams where we swept a team [in the regular season] and then when the playoffs start they beat us four to one. Playoffs are a different game. I don't really think too much about who we play. You just have a team you are facing and you just need to win the games.

 I guess they realized that in this league, to get far in the playoffs, you have to be more physical and play better at the defensive end. I don't think they did that in the past. It doesn't matter if you do it in the regular season. You got to do it in the playoffs. That's when all the eyes are on you.

 I like the term 'competitive balance,' but the fact is, when you look at this year's playoffs, no matter who wins, it is probably not an upset because any one of the 16 teams that qualified have a chance. The regular season was exciting. There were 24 teams in the hunt until just about the end. Then, when you look at these series, the playoffs are off to a strong start.

 I don't think we're going to play football in the playoffs. Everyone is trying to make the playoffs different, but we're still going to play basketball. Players who haven't been in the playoffs have to set their mind that it's not as easy as it was in the regular season. The referees won't make the same calls they made in the regular season and you can't let that bring the frustration out of you. That's the biggest adjustment.

 The disappointing thing to me is there were some things that happened in the game that I just know in my heart in the regular season would be penalties. Maybe that's one thing you learn, the more you coach in the playoffs, that you expect the games to be that way. Maybe we've got to coach a little differently in the playoffs.

 You get to the playoffs you got to win 11 games. In the regular season, you win 99 and go to the wire and almost lose. The way we played all year long it was like a playoff game every day. ... I talked to the guys. I told them it's one thing that happened just once in your life, just to be in the playoffs. Some people play a lot of years in this game and never have this opportunity.

 Nobody pitches better in the playoffs than he does. My one criticism, and I only have one, is he pitches behind hitters too much in the regular season and he doesn't seem to do that in the playoffs.

 His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal.

 It's amazing just to see how far the basketball team has come and how excited the fans get. It wouldn't be as much fun if everyone wasn't so into it. It doesn't matter if we're in the playoffs or at a regular home game — they're always exciting.

 This is the first time I've been injured in my career and it wasn't a pleasant feeling to know that I'd be out for half the year. Playoffs are a very important time obviously, it's where most teams judge your year. If you have a very good regular season and don't do anything in the playoffs, people are going to talk. I'm going to be relatively fresh for the playoffs. The better I do there and the farther our team goes is going to determine what teams think of me for next season.

 This time of year, it doesn't matter. You find whatever ounce in you and go. This doesn't happen often. Last year, I was home for a good three weeks [after missing the playoffs]. This is better. If we wanted to play at home, we should have been better in the regular season.

 We really addressed a lot of issues. The last two games were embarrassing, and we really had to come out and give a much better effort. We know that we're out of the playoffs, but it doesn't matter . . . we've got to show up every night.

 I think you'll see that hunger and that desperation in the playoffs. But the trick is, you have to make the playoffs. You have to take care of business and survive the grind of the regular season.

 Once the game starts, the speed of the game. The game seems like it's an hour long. It goes so fast. Every play counts. It means something. In the regular season, every play doesn't mean something. In the playoffs, it does.

 There are no easy opponents in the playoffs. The easy opponents get left behind in the regular season. Whoever you draw, everyone is going to bring their game up a level because it's the playoffs.
