best rivalry saved unspoken
He saved it just for us. It's like an unspoken rivalry we're having right now. And they're getting the best of us.
rookie
He's going to be an All-Star quickly. He's my rookie of the year.
everybody fans fun love might passing people
Well, you didn't make it. There were people here before you. We're just passing through like everybody else. You might as well have fun with everyone you can - media, fans - and they'll love you back.
dreams player
He has something I don't have. He has two rings. That's what every player dreams of, and he has two of them.
believed kept knew stayed took
We took daggers early, but we knew if we stayed with it, we would come back. We just kept going at them, kept fighting, and believed in each other.
breath catch few happiness happy help however past seem shock solid state
Some of them seem happy and some are still kind of in a state of shock over everything they've been through, ... I think they are just happy to be on solid ground. Get a meal. Take a shower. Just catch their breath after what they've been through the past few days. I just wanted to be here to say: 'Welcome to D.C. We're here to help you however we can.'
knows last matter pulled seven together trying worried year
Four, five, six, seven seed, who knows who's going to play each other? It doesn't matter who we play, we're not worried about that right now. We're just trying to come together as a group. Last year we didn't have home-court advantage, and we pulled out a win.
chip draft falling goes hurt point
That chip was falling off from the 2001 draft and now another chip goes on. You've just got to go out there and play. You can't let something like this hurt you. You know, 2001, I used that to get to this point and I'll use this to get further.
exposed fans missing onto picked players team voted year
I won't be picked by the fans because I'm not getting exposed like those guys. So I need to actually do work. Every year I'm going to have to come in and do my work. I'm not ever going to be one of those players who get voted onto the All-Star team after missing most of the season.
coach game guess heard helping somebody
I was the one who was helping him out. But I guess he heard from somebody that I told Coach not to play him in Game 3. It wasn't like that.
time trying
I already had it in my mind. It's time for elimination. I'm the terminator. I'm in terminate mode, and I'm trying not to get out of it.
half second teased
He did good, but we teased him in the second half when he got barbecued.
create finish
He (Davis) bailed me out a little bit. Because then I'd have had to try and create and finish over a big man, which I probably would have done.
found freedom seem teams tough
It didn't seem possible, but they've found a way to improve. They have so much more freedom with the ball, and they still make it tough on teams with their defense.
