It's always been a home-court advantage for us to play at 7,000 feet. You throw in 4,000 - or maybe 5,000 - fans, now you have a double-edged sword working for us.

Hopefully we can do something like we did the last time where we tried to minimize the success the other players have, and not just focus on one guy.

I'm talking about a voice in the locker room when coaches aren't present, a voice at their apartments where they live, that type of thing. He tells them not to get excited or too low. Keep plugging away and things will happen. He has a confidence in others to help them improve their game.

I've seen him do it a number of times.

Their opponents are shooting a lot more free throws, and I hope that continues (today).

We knew they were not going to quit. We're all playing for our lives at this point, so we knew they weren't going to go away.
