Everyone on this team knows their role, but there's no animosity or jealously. This is a very close-knit unit that has meshed together very well. After our first two road tournaments, I knew I had some special kids. They fit perfect together. We're all looking for one goal and that's the state championship and we're going out there to win it.

These kind of ball games will do nothing but make us better. Our team is close knit and we'll be tighter than ever.

No animosity. No animosity. I mean that.

They are as good as any team we have played. Keith knows what to do with what he has. They have a good combination of inside-outside players and they guard you.

I would like to have some kind of role on this team, there's no question about it but ultimately we help Pacers to win, ... Don't get me wrong. I would like to play. I would like to play a lot. That's not a question. But we're one month away from the season, and there's so much more important stuff than your role on the team. If you're in shape, if you come ready to play, if you take care of your body, then that other stuff will take care of itself. I really believe that.

It's a very close-knit group. I would say very, very similar (to the Indians), for sure.
