I think we were just riding the emotion from our last game. Everyone knew that this would probably be our toughest opponent in league. We knew we could do it after beating A-West.

There were some nerves knowing that major leaguers go out there. The venue is just so cool. You just have to try to relax.

Detachment is not the absence of emotion, it is the process of becoming one with the Oneness that is the Universe. To be detached, is to realize that the fullness of all there is, is too much to react to with just one emotion, one thought, or any bias. To be detached, is to acknowledge all, without owning any of it. To be detached, is to summon forth the whole entirety of understanding, to the fragment that is the void.

I did it in the last series against Smith because we saw an emotion that we could tap into ... I won't be doing it to Marcus.

Coach Popovich is a very intelligent coach. He must have felt that his team needed to get some emotion while playing the game.

I think we were too emotional to start the game. We got that big lead more on emotion than substance. And once the emotion wore off, we struggled.
