bandwagon cats larry last people
Some people say that without Larry we won't get back, but he wasn't the one out there playing. It's cool, though. We know we're going to be there. It's going to be a lot of bandwagon cats at the end of the year, just like it was last year.
game last moral overall trying victory wins
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.
few last sit
That's really important as we get into the playoffs. We're going to get tired, we're going to sit down and won't be able to play the whole 48, so they're going to have to come in and do the things they've been doing the last few games.
carolina few good last rivalry
I told him, if they see us, you know, hey, Carolina will have to do their thing. That's been a pretty good rivalry over the last few years.
chip last regular season stuff summer wait waiting
We started the season with that chip from last year. We had to wait all summer and then wait through this long regular season. All of that other stuff was just in the way. This, the playoffs, is what we've been waiting for.
last respect rug swept
We still don't get the respect we deserve. It's all right, though. Hey, it's cool. For the last so-and-so years, we've been under the rug. They swept us under the rug and the last two years we went to the Finals.
beat brag chip early given last night played playoff shoulder sit year
We know it's going to be a playoff atmosphere. We only played them once, and we can't sit here and brag and have a chip on our shoulder like, 'We put them out last year and we beat them early this year.' Because you can be beat on any given night in this league.
couple excited game last playoffs regular since waiting
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.
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.
consistent drop few good high knowing level loss losses lost
Sometimes we drop to the level of our opponents. We had that loss to Atlanta, knowing good and well we shouldn't have lost to them. Same with a few other losses this year. I tell you, if we play on our consistent high level, we'll be fine.
five ourselves people starting
Some people say our starting five is like an all-star team. But we don't see ourselves like that. We see ourselves as a unit.
damage fingers fist five four ourselves spread together
We don't see ourselves as four All-Stars. We see ourselves as one unit. It's like five fingers on a hand. You can do more damage together as a fist than spread out flat.
clock messed
That whole little clock thing had me messed up.
letting loose man run scoring
It does matter. We can't be letting the man run loose scoring 50, 60, 70, 80 points. That's not good.
