In the locker room, he's been very vocal, getting the guys going. He feels very loose in that locker room, at home. He really likes playing in Boston.

This is the loudest, happiest locker room we've had in a while. Guys are loose and confident, and that's usually when we're on our game. Our foot is in the door. Now we have to go out and kick the door down, and this team is capable of doing it.

In one part of locker room, the guys have a plasma TV, so the guys in the ghetto always say, 'We're going to come get that,'

It was a very quiet locker room. Everybody feels like we got kicked in the stomach.

I was kidding around with the guys in the locker room, I said, 'You guys are proven champions, and I haven't proven anything so the pressure's on me, not on you. 'If we don't win it's my fault, it's not going to be yours.

You feel like we're a team that should've won. I'm sure everybody in the locker room feels the same way.
