We're always a team that people push aside, but we're the team that finished No. 1 in the West.

Whiz deserves Coach of the Year. He's accomplished a lot with this team. No one knew how we were going to fit together. But he had confidence it would work.

We have a talented team that was struggling, but we found a way to win. We came back from 10 down (in the first half), but then came out flat in the second half. We have to keep the intensity from the tip to the end.

We're a great team, not just one or two players. ... If one goes down, another steps up. We bounce right back. Nothing keeps us down.

I knew this was a special team when everybody reported to training camp, ... I knew then that we had something special. This has been the best season of my career. My teammates made this special. This is just unbelievable.

From beginning to end, they had a lot of energy. They were a lot more hungry than we were. Tonight we needed everybody from our starters to our bench players to give us a lift. I struggled on down to the last person off the bench.
