It's the playoffs; you have to pick up the intensity.
The playoffs are like nothing else. The intensity is off the meat rack and I'm looking forward to going back.
For every team in the playoffs, their defensive intensity, their defensive attention to detail just becomes greater.
What I've talked about the entire series and throughout this playoffs is about intensity and effort, desire and will of our players.
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.
When I came into this league, it was a Phoenix Suns team consistently going to the playoffs, and they had aspirations to go deep into the playoffs. People were always harping on sacrifice, what you have to give up for the success of the team.
We have a lot of rookies in the lineup. More than anybody, I would say. Its going to be something new for them. They have to understand that it's totally different hockey in the playoffs. Starting with the fans, the intensity of the game, every mistake counts.
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'm going to make the playoffs. You can believe that. To never play in the playoffs, that will not be my legacy.
The playoffs are unpredictable. You never know what can happen and how these playoffs go.
It's the playoffs, man. If you don't get excited about the playoffs, you don't even deserve to be playing basketball.
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.
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'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.
