challenge elite few teams
It's not so much our whole legacy, but we want to repeat. We want to be one of the elite teams. Few teams have ever done that, and that's the challenge for us.
challenged knowing teams
We're just two teams that have challenged each other, and we'll get up for each other, knowing the history. It'll be a little edgy, but it will still be just another game.
anywhere defensive edge gives good hostile road team
I don't really know why we are a good road team. But with our identity, we play well in hostile environments. Being a defensive team gives you that edge where you feel you can go anywhere and win.
everybody settle
Everybody was antsy, everybody was anxious, and it showed in our play. We got the first one out of the way, so now we can settle down a little bit.
believe blowing voice
That has a lot to do with it. If you believe you're right, you should voice your opinion. It's not a big deal. Some are blowing it out of proportion.
close
It was just how close-knit the organization is. It was really close back then, really family-oriented. It was cool.
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.
knocked
It kind of knocked him back a little bit. You could tell.
defensive establish games guys habit means possession season stopping struggle winds
As the season winds down, we have to establish that as our identity, because, going into the playoffs, that's the way games are going to be played. It's a defensive struggle every game, and every possession means a lot. We have to get back into the habit of stopping guys every night.
matter people title
At this point, we don't even care. We know what we've got to do, and we know what we need to do -- and that's get the title back. That's our focus, our goal. All the other stuff, hey, people can say what they want to say or not. They'll put us on the prime-time or whatever. It doesn't matter to us. We just want the title back.
stay takes
Things are going well, but it just takes time. It's all going well, so I just have to stay patient.
matter
This doesn't matter at all. We want the championship.
create fun goodness job lucky steal thank turmoil
That's my job and I have fun doing it. Thank goodness that I can still do it. I got lucky on the steal on Allen. As long as I create turmoil on the court, I'll keep doing it.
hate nobody
That's just a theory, man, nobody knows. I hate to see him go through this. I know if it was me, I would be home.
