legs rhythm starting thinking
My legs are starting to get back under me. I'm getting my rhythm back and I'm just going out there to play. Not really thinking about it.
bracket gonna predict watch
I don't (fill a bracket out) because I'm gonna lose. I can't go on the numbers, because there's always upsets. I don't want to predict because I don't watch basketball. Or I don't watch enough of it.
leg pick rip
Rip is on one leg out there, so we have to pick up the slack.
easy good knew passes throw
He just made it so easy for me to score. He's such a good passer. I kind of knew where his passes were going to be at any time. Not even looking, I knew where he was going to throw it and when he was going to throw it.
ben felt guess kept stick trying waiting wallace
I kept waiting for Ben (center Ben Wallace ) to come back in. I guess (coach) felt that if things were going good, you have to stick with it. I was just trying to make things happen.
breathing difference flip freedom giving neck relaxed
He's more relaxed when you don't have someone breathing down your neck when you go out there. That's been the difference with Chauncey this year. He's just been going out there and playing. Flip is giving him the freedom to go out there and do what he wants, and he's been doing it.
lose motivated remember rest
I was a little more motivated for the win. It was my first finals. To lose like we did, I'm going to remember it for the rest of my life.
decided hard lightly team
We didn't take them lightly at all. A team like that has nothing to lose, so we decided to come out and play hard in the beginning.
play play-hard who-i-am
I just go and play hard. That's who I am.
warrior trying court
I can't be someone I'm not. I try to be a warrior on the court, but where I come from, being macho doesn't get you anywhere.
play focus trying
I used to get down on myself a lot if I missed a shot, and it would just break my focus. But now I stay mentally tough and try to just forget about that play and keep on going.
player east dominant
I can be one of the dominant players, maybe the dominant player, in the East.
almost compete gets guys hard mental team won
When you are a young team, it is hard to compete with a team that has won one championship and almost won another. It's a mental thing. It gets into your head, because you know what those guys have done.
