That's what you work all season for, to get into the playoff games, and you don't want to blow it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet.
You just want the highs to start once the playoffs start.
You've got to enjoy time with your family and friends, and if you're involved in sports franchises, those peak moments in playoff games. You have to enjoy life.
When you make the playoffs, it's like you've done your job for the team. I've got that moment in my mind all the time, and I want to be there again.
We had an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth and I think if that's not enough motivation I don't think you should be playing this game.
At the end of the day, I've played six years, haven't made the playoffs yet, that burns me and hurts my heart, so I really want to be playing.
You have so much fun playing games. We all love basketball, so we never want the season to end, 'cause then it's five months of sitting around and watching the playoffs.
Playing in the playoffs is the best basketball in the world, and if you can learn under that pressure, succeed under that pressure, it gives you more confidence the next year.
The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you.
Every game, we're going to go for it, so when we get into playoff time, it's not like, 'You've really got to ratchet it up. You've really got to do something different.' Then what have I been doing the whole time?
