Going into the playoffs, our mentality has to be opposed from the regular season -- that we're going to shut you down. We still know we can score. Our identity is defense.

As the season winds down, we have to establish that as our identity, because, going into the playoffs, that's the way games are going to be played. It's a defensive struggle every game, and every possession means a lot. We have to get back into the habit of stopping guys every night.
matter people title
At this point, we don't even care. We know what we've got to do, and we know what we need to do -- and that's get the title back. That's our focus, our goal. All the other stuff, hey, people can say what they want to say or not. They'll put us on the prime-time or whatever. It doesn't matter to us. We just want the title back.
