The regular season got us the home court throughout the playoffs, and that was our goal. Now it's time to get down to business.
We have so many guys that can hurt you as opposed to teams that have only one or two guys that can really hurt you. You can adjust your defense to stop one or two guys. YOu can't do that when you play us. We have too many options.
We're still a long way away from 72. If we're close in March, come talk to me then.
He took himself out, but I wanted him to stay in. I wanted him to keep trying to make them. We'd get the stops on the other end. We've got each other's backs.
I wanted him to stay in. Just keep trying to make them. We were going to try and make sure we got stops on the other end. We have each others' back anyway.
It was crazy, crazy. I can't really say too much, honestly. After the game, I've got to talk about what happened. I wish we had something where the refs had to do that, where they had to explain what happened.
They turned it on a little bit, but we settled down a little bit.
They fought. I give them a lot of credit. We had to grind it out.
That's crazy, man. I can't even fathom that. That's crazy.
That's just crazy. I can't even fathom that. Wow.
No disrespect to anybody, but it's always fun to play the other elite teams in the league. It makes a difference.
I think we'll be a lot better offensively. Defensively, we could be as good. But when you play a faster-paced game, naturally, that other team is going to score a couple more points.
He's played a lot of years and not gotten to the Finals yet, where he wants to be.
Rip did a great job on him, that was his assignment. He contested a lot of his shots.
