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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
defense
We just couldn't make a shot. We had to buckle down and play some defense.
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.
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.
hardware
We have an agenda. We want the hardware back.
