We're happy to win, and it's nice to set new record and win things, but we only have had one goal all year. Winning a championship is the only thing that matters to all of us. All the other stuff is just things that have happened along the way to get us there.
affected certainly close deeply efforts events family following gulf help hit home hurricane katrina members moved people region relief storm urge
I'm deeply moved by the events that have transpired following Hurricane Katrina because it certainly hit close to home for me. Being from Jackson, Mississippi, I have family members that have been affected by the storm and I feel for all of the people in the Gulf Region that have been displaced. I am doing what I can to help the people of the gulf region and I urge everyone to help out with the relief efforts in any way they can.

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.

Our whole focus all year was to win a championship. All this other stuff, I mean, it's nice and it makes for some good stories, but winning a title is our whole mind-set. If we don't win the championship, nobody is going to remember all that other stuff.

If I was coaching I would've yanked his butt out of the game. After a couple of those long bombs, I would've sat him down.

Michael was just phenomenal. When guys are shooting like that, it is tough, but we were finally able to get some stops.
defensive establish games guys habit means possession season stopping struggle winds
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.

He's so focused. He has that tunnel focus. That's why he can go on rolls, like he does. In games, when he gets that focus, he's like an assassin out there.
anywhere defensive edge gives good hostile road team
I don't really know why we are a good road team. But with our identity, we play well in hostile environments. Being a defensive team gives you that edge where you feel you can go anywhere and win.
