I think there's a lot on this game. With how we lost in the Finals last year, we're definitely going to be fired up wanting to get a win. We also want to prove to everybody that we belong.
-
They definitely believe in getting up and down the court.
-
I can be one of the dominant players, maybe the dominant player, in the East.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I just go and play hard. That's who I am.
-
Yeah, they try to get me to play. Because they want my money.
-
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.
-
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.
