That's just a matter of us instilling that confidence in him. I'm gonna keep talking to him. We can get it done. We don't get it done in the same fashion as the starters do, but we can get it done.
matter
This doesn't matter at all. We want the championship.
good hitters job
K-State did a really good job of keying in on the hitters that were doing really well and they weren't going with Na at all.
identity mentality opposed regular season shut
Going into the playoffs, our mentality has to be opposed from the regular season -- that we're going to shut you down. We still know we can score. Our identity is defense.
focus good nice nobody remember title win winning year
Our whole focus all year was to win a championship. All this other stuff, I mean, it's nice and it makes for some good stories, but winning a title is our whole mind-set. If we don't win the championship, nobody is going to remember all that other stuff.
limited motion range

behind ben easier guys offense pressure shut
I just try to pressure up the floor, make them get into their offense late, and shut down the lane. With Ben (Wallace) and the other guys behind me, it makes it easier for me to pressure up.

It was just how close-knit the organization is. It was really close back then, really family-oriented. It was cool.

He's so focused. He has that tunnel focus. That's why he can go on rolls, like he does. In games, when he gets that focus, he's like an assassin out there.

affected certainly close deeply efforts events family following gulf help hit home hurricane katrina members moved people region relief storm urge
I'm deeply moved by the events that have transpired following Hurricane Katrina because it certainly hit close to home for me. Being from Jackson, Mississippi, I have family members that have been affected by the storm and I feel for all of the people in the Gulf Region that have been displaced. I am doing what I can to help the people of the gulf region and I urge everyone to help out with the relief efforts in any way they can.
although credit drawing execution gain great hustle played plays
You've got to give the Suns credit for their execution. I think we played even with them, although they had a lot of great hustle plays to gain the advantage. But this is just the first game. We've got to go back to the drawing board.
