I expect him to make it every time he shoots.

It's like a preparation for war. It literally is. We're conditioned as athletes to recognize the culmination of our season. Here it is. You have to change your attitude as you go into the playoffs, change your mentality, change how you go about every day. As a player, you basically have to extend yourself past your normal boundaries, because once you're done, you're done. You see the finish line.

This is a terrific opportunity, and I can't wait to really start contributing.

I think I'd be a liar if I said I'm not worried about it - I am.

It's a gathering of plumbers.

That's the thing we can do. We can shoot the ball well.
