We got the moral victory with the two wins this year. But they got the overall by getting us in Game 7 last year. We're just trying to get back to there, and get back what's ours.
diving game hard hustle knew took win
We knew if we were going to win this game we were going to have to go out there and play hard and make those diving plays, those hustle plays. And that's what we did to get back into the game and took it from there.
game good guys spot stick whether
It's nothing like, 'We've really got to go stick it to these guys this time.' It's nothing like that. It's always a good game when we play them, whether it's at their spot or at our spot.
game statements until
It's no statement. It's just another game. Statements won't be made until the playoffs.
cool couple excited game playoffs regular since teams waiting
It's cool. It's what we've been waiting for all year. The regular season, you know, we got up for a couple teams but we weren't excited about the regular season. Now that the playoffs are here, this is what we want. This is what we've been waiting for since Game 7, so go out there and do it.

With us, we didn't like the taste we had in our mouths all summer. No disrespect to San Antonio, but we knew we could have beat them in Game 7.

Ain't no pressure games or big games for us. We're just playing. We're just playing basketball.

This is what we've been waiting for. We got up for a couple teams, but we weren't really excited about the regular season. We've been waiting for the playoffs since Game 7 last year.
against game good playing statement statements
This wasn't any kind of statement -- you make statements in the playoffs. This was just playing a game against a very good team.
boots close game left minute shake
It's no big thing to us. We've been there and done that. It's nothing that we shake in our boots about if it's a close game with a minute left or anything under a minute.
game harp ourselves physically prepare team veteran
Not really (anything different). We're a veteran team and we know what we need to do to prepare ourselves for the game physically and mentally. So he (Saunders) doesn't need to harp on anything specific.
cat cracking game skull start
I'm not going to start the game by cracking a cat in the skull if I don't get elbowed first.
again coming everybody game good ready rick together wants
I know they're not coming together like Rick (Carlisle) wants them to, but it's going to be a good game (today). We'll be ready full-force again and have everybody back.
blocking body glad grabbing left shots
Body (Wallace) was blocking shots left and right, grabbing rebounds. The kid's a monster. I am just glad he's on my side.
