It's a beautiful thing; it's fun. We're going to defend the crown what more can you ask for?
best encourage job shooting slump
We just try to encourage him. His No. 1 job is to shoot, and we know sometimes shooters aren't always on, but the best way to come out of a shooting slump is to keep shooting, and that's what we encourage him to do.
came desire entire fire heart soul spread
Manny is the heart and soul of our team. He came back with a desire and fire that spread through the entire team.
al believes best expecting help step
We've been expecting Al to step up like that all year. I think he's one of the best shooters in the area. Once he believes in that, he's going to take off and really help us.
capable expect potential seeing truly
We've been on him all year. We expect a lot of our Alfred because he has so much potential. And I don't even think right now you're seeing what Alfred is truly capable of.

It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. It's exciting for the kids and they are really looking forward to it.
nobody
We're just here to play basketball. When we were 2-5, nobody was protesting, so that's just how it is.
close games guys overtime rattle
Our guys are tough. We've been battle-tested. We've had overtime games in the season, double-overtime games, so the close games really don't rattle us at this point.
against crowd decent feeling guys job
I think our guys have the feeling of us against the world, so we like that. We get up for that, so that was good. We wanted to come out and take the crowd out of it early, and I think we did a decent job of that.
hit played shots team
Hey, the other team played really well. They hit some shots from what, the hash mark. If they hit shots from the hash mark, you can't do anything about that.
games past rattle tough
I don't think the tough games really rattle us. I think those experiences in the past made this game not so nerve-racking for our guys.
guys won wrong
All I told our guys was, 'Back in December, they won the wrong game,' you know what I mean? We'll take this one.
