We just want to come out and stay focused and try to win each game. I mean, it's a great streak. But to us, it's a game. We don't look at what the Chicago Bulls did or anything like that. We just want to get home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Some were greatly offended, some were terribly amused, but mostly they were shocked that he did it knowing we're coming up, ... How do you tell someone, especially a psychologist, who should know better, that he's making people uncomfortable?

accustomed far great mate pick poison teams
I have always been accustomed to that role, even going back to college. But the great thing is, I have a backcourt mate who's accustomed to it, too. So teams really have to pick their poison as far as who is going to take that shot.

We just knuckled down. We still felt we had an opportunity to win. Our bench did a great job of keeping us in the game. When we came in the game in the fourth quarter, we just wanted to execute every time down the floor and we did that.

They're a good team, man, no doubt. Michael Redd is a great scorer who can really hurt you if you don't guard him right. We're going to have to play tough to make sure he doesn't get off on us.
ball best energy great guys hurt looked pressure time
This is the best Lindsey has looked, with his energy and his pressure on the ball and getting the ball to the right guys at the right time. I thought he really looked great (Saturday). This is the first time of him not being sick, not being hurt or anything else.
