00:00We got one game. One game.

00:03Nothing that's happened before matters.

00:06And nothing that's going to happen after matters.

00:09It's all about that one game.

00:11So just trying to approach it the right way.

00:13For the next couple of days,

00:15the narratives are going to be almost poison.

00:21To talk about what this means to our city and our organization

00:26and legacy talk, and we played so well,

00:30and now the pressure's on it.

00:32You know what I mean?

00:33There's going to be narratives that we can't really pay attention to.

00:36We're just a hungry team, and everybody wants to win.

00:40But I feel like we wanted more.

00:42We want to go out there and show the world we won't get as much love

00:47as everybody else in this NBA world.

00:50So we just try to go out there and do it for everybody within this circle.

00:55And that's why we love each other and have so much success.
