mentally mindset morning next ready sunday waking woke
I woke up the next morning about 8 o'clock mentally ready to play. The same thing with Sunday morning, waking up early. The mindset was to get up, get the day started and go to the game.
emotion emotions huge swing
It was a huge swing of emotion in the game.

We came into the second half fired up, but when you can't take that first wave it kind of gets to you.

I thought it was good, to be honest. I've seen him make that shot so many times. After that, I felt a sense of longing.
shut team
We were shut down. For this team to do that, it's just not acceptable.
beat bow casual easily laid proud word
For us to keep going and not bow down and get beat by 30 or 40, which could have easily been done, I'm still proud of our team. I don't know if you would use the word casual or laid back, but we just didn't come with it right away. Especially on the road, that's going to get you killed.
last people
Last year, we had a lot of notoriety, a lot of people watching. This year, people don't know what to expect.

We're the backup singers. We make everything roll.

They were talking trash. One guy told me to punch my hand into glass . . . I told him something after my dunk.
breaks downfall high knocked shots talking whatever
They were talking a little trash. Sometimes that can be the downfall for a team. For them to be so high to be able talk to us whatever way they did, then when Dee knocked down shots like that, it breaks your back.
