against finding five great job occasions remember six time
What I remember the first time is that they dunked about the first five or six shots. They did a great job against us, with dribble-drive penetration and finding (Eric) Hicks, finding (Jihad) Muhammad. They out-hustled us on many occasions in the first half.

In games like this there are little three or four minute spans when you've got to be mentally tough enough when that other team is really challenging you.

Nothing will be a surprise to us as far as the talent level.
