conference exciting finals question series western
There is no question that series would be exciting to play. Not only for the Western Conference finals implications but also for the rivalry.
blew few guys line team whistle
The referees blew the whistle a lot. Anthony got to the line a lot. Our guys on our team got to the line a few times.
flat prove screens towards
We still need to prove that we're still a top-notch organization. We're going towards that road. I don't have PlayStation in my locker, flat screens or DVD's in my locker.
best
We're 5-1 but we're not happy. We didn't play to the best of our ability.
changing minds position sam
We've never been in this position before; we're changing a lot of people's minds about what the Clippers are about, and no doubt, Sam is a big, big part of that.
doubling finding guys hard kept mind positions score sharing
I wanted to set a tone, I really wanted this game. They kept finding me in positions I could score and once they started doubling me really hard on the catch, there were other guys open. I didn't mind sharing the rock.

It's embarrassing. You can't get embarrassed on your home court like that. You have to play with some pride and some intensity. We came out in the third quarter with a sense of urgency, but you've got to start the ballgame off like that.
bandwagon came confident doubt goes jump left level sam somebody soon swagger talking trash
Without a doubt, the swagger level goes up, ... Sam Cassell has been talking trash as soon as he came here. That's what we need. We need somebody that's confident like that, saying, hey, jump on our bandwagon or get left behind. We haven't had that.
dearly moral paid rather rotation trying victories
We got out of rotation and we paid dearly for it. We're not trying to take any moral victories ... we wanted to win. It's encouraging but we'd rather have that 'W'.
sloppy
We got sloppy at the end, but we accomplished what we wanted to.

We still need to prove that we're still a top-notch organization, ... We're going towards that road. I don't have PlayStation in my locker, flat screens or DVD's in my locker.
