camera excited finally happy hit jersey knew pictures saw taking
I knew he was real excited when I saw him taking pictures of his all-star jersey with his camera phone. That's when it finally hit him that he made it. But I'm happy for Rip. I'm happy for Chauncey and the whole organization.
couple hit knew shots veteran
It's just veteran play. We knew what we had to do get a couple of shots, hit some big shots and do the things we've been doing all season.
good hit needed shots
Chauncey hit some big shots. He did a good job. He hit some real big shots when we needed it.
gym hit jersey missed ready shots tough
It happens. We missed some shots and they hit some shots. It's a tough loss, but it's not like an end-of-the-season loss. We just have to go back into the gym and get ready for New Jersey on Tuesday.
fan man zone
I'm not a big fan of zone myself. I'm more a man-to-man. But, if it's for the team, I'm with it.
fan individuality kids rather wife
I'm not a big fan of individuality. My wife and kids will like it, but I'd rather have a championship.

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.

I know that's not going to happen again.

It's still too early to say what we're gonna look like and what we're gonna to do.
against far good knock playoffs records sort
They've had good records and good teams, but they haven't been able to go far in the playoffs -- that's sort of been the knock against them. Has that changed? You never can tell.
came locker room team
Not really. That's nothing that ever came up in the locker room or in team meetings.
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.
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.
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.
