We're playing our best basketball all year and we're a really tough team. You can't stop us.
We're just going to keep doing what we've been doing all year. It's the same routine. We don't really have to change anything.
We're here to win it. This is just the first step to get there.
That's a big part of our game, is blocking shots. That's the way we play, and if somebody gets it in there, we're going to try to get it out.
I can use my charms to raise money for a good cause. I just have to show up.
The offense would have been geared toward them if they stayed. Maybe we could have still made this run, but it wouldn't have been the same team.
I don't feel sorry for them at all.
It's all about confidence, and confidence comes from trusting your teammates. What's great about our team is we never know who's going to step up.
It's all about team chemistry. We're doing it as a group.
After Matt and David and Peep left, we decided we were always going to have to stick together. It was going to be about us, it was about the team, it wasn't about one unique player.
If they (sag) off Lee, it's over. I'm passing it out to him, and he's knocking it down.
I think the culture is always going to be a football culture, as we well know. But I think this definitely impacts the way people are going to start looking at us.
He's a dude that will just go in before the game and get shots up. Even for an all-star game, you don't see that. He was getting shots up when everybody else was gone. You could tell he was really committed.
It's a great story, but we'd be a lot happier if it's a story that ended now.
