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.
bench code crazy definitely dress head injured man office problem sit speak trying voice
I can't speak for other teams, but for us, we're definitely trying to voice our objection. I don't have a problem with that dress code if a man is injured and has to be on the bench during games. But it's kind of crazy to sit up there and try to tell us how to dress on the way to work. We're not in that head office in New York. To me, that's crazy.
extra man playing
Hey, we're just playing, man. Ain't got nothing to do with being extra physical. That's the way we've been playing all year.
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.
extra man physical playing
Man, we're just playing. It doesn't have anything to do with being extra physical or nothing like that. That's the way we've been playing all year.
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.
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.
happen
I know that's not going to happen again.
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.
early gonna
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.
