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.
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.
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.
playoff statements until
It wasn't no statement. It was just another game. Statements aren't to be made until playoff time.
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.

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.

I'm not a big fan of individuality. My wife and kids will like it, but I'd rather have a championship.

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.

It's still too early to say what we're gonna look like and what we're gonna to do.

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.
