We did a good job of breaking their press. We are a tough team to press.

You do all the camps in the summer to get to one place and then to totally blow it, not once, but twice. We have to go farther than we've ever been, seriously.

This is our year. We have never been as good as we are this year.

You always want to make sure you're mentally ahead of the other team. If you make the other team think they can't play with you, that's the way they'll start playing.

It's so hard to lose when you get down there. It hurts so bad, and I know my team this year ? we are better than we've ever been. I seriously think we're going to take the championship this year.

Individual accomplishments are nice, especially when you think about all the good players that have been here, but it's really about the team.
