Everything can happen in the playoffs.
The playoffs are unpredictable. You never know what can happen and how these playoffs go.
Playing pretty big minutes in the playoffs and having career games in the playoffs is something you dream of as a kid but never really think will happen.
I went to Golden State and helped them get to the playoffs my first year there, and they haven't been to the playoffs in 13 years. I played in Charlotte... and I got them to the playoffs. So, every team I go to, I make them better.
Once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen.
In playoffs, it's so emotional and the tension's really high and guys are laying everything on the line. And when you do that, things get chippy and guys are playing aggressively, and I think it just comes out in the playoffs a little more. When you know what's on the line and what you're expected to do, it just comes out.
Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.
I think as long as you have Kobe Bryant on your team, anything can happen in the playoffs.
I'm going to make the playoffs. You can believe that. To never play in the playoffs, that will not be my legacy.
It's the playoffs, man. If you don't get excited about the playoffs, you don't even deserve to be playing basketball.
It's the NHL playoffs, I'm 20 years old, I'm finding it out the hard way that playoffs aren't easy.
There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.
I know winning 20 is a special kind of thing, but I'd rather get into the playoffs, and be strong for the playoffs.
I think you should have a mindset of getting to the playoffs, because once you get in the playoffs, it is kind of a crapshoot.
I've been to playoffs before. That should be everybody's goal is the playoffs.
The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you.
The fact that we're in the playoffs doesn't mean anything to us, to be honest with you. Hopefully, we can accomplish our goal of going into the playoffs on a winning note.
