cameras critics follow people regular step tv
This is where you make your name. People follow what you did during the regular season, but what you do in the playoffs, it's all magnified. The TV cameras are on you. The critics are watching, so this is where you step up your game.
jordan michael playoff six treat
Are the referees going to treat him like Michael Jordan in his first playoff or like Michael Jordan after six championships? We don't know.
beginning holding playing season teams
This is how we were playing at the beginning of the season when we were holding teams to 85 points. If we can keep playing like this, we'll be pretty good.
decided foul hard plan threw
Actually, that wasn't the plan going in. Brendan just decided he was going to give a hard foul to let him know he was there. For some reason, that just threw him off a little bit.
almost conference eastern missing pay team
Somebody's going to have to pay for me missing the initial. And that's almost every Eastern Conference team out there.
coach playing
Coach said, 'Throw away the plays. 'Throw away the plays?' All right. That's like playing outside.
coach knew mentioned
Coach mentioned it to us but we knew this wasn't going to be a blowout.
chasing coach hurt jordan player risk
Coach Jordan isn't going to risk a player getting hurt chasing a record.
ball close easy games good happened happy moved playing stuff together took
After the close games we've been playing it was good to just come out, put it all together and put one away. I was happy that we didn't let up when we got the lead. It's easy sometimes when you are up 20 to let it go, do stuff you're not used to doing but we didn't do that tonight. We took good shots, moved the ball well and good things happened for us.
good taking team trying
They're taking charges, deflecting. They play good team defense, and that's what were trying to get to.
close coach fighting fourth game jeopardize looked maybe sheet
I thought coach was going to put me back in but he just didn't. Once I looked at the stat sheet in the fourth quarter, but we were up 25. Maybe if it was a close game and we were fighting for the game. But when you're up 25, he's not going to jeopardize a player.
third toward weird win
It got weird toward the end on this one, but it was our third win in a row.
biggest difference played whatever
I think that the biggest difference is that we played harder, for whatever reason.
couple hopefully
I went through that play a couple of times in my head, what I should've done. You always do that. But it's going to be another game, and hopefully it doesn't go down to the wire.
