00:00 - Usually in NBA history it says you have to lose
00:02 and lose big before you win.
00:04 What is it about this team that says--
00:06 - We lost last year.
00:07 - Yeah, but that's different.
00:08 You have to lose at a bigger stage.
00:10 Usually, teams usually--
00:12 - It's the playoffs, we lost last year.
00:14 - We lost the last two years.
00:15 - God damn, how much more we gotta lose?
00:18 - How much you want us to lose?
00:19 - Then lose it for 20 years.
00:22 - I mean, that's just the truth, dog.
00:23 - God damn.
00:24 - What makes you guys believe that
00:29 you guys don't have to wait any longer,
00:31 that just getting past the second round
00:33 isn't the goal that you guys can win the next two rounds?
00:36 - I think, and I think this is the biggest thing
00:39 to answer that question.
00:40 It starts with our head coach, Chris Finch.
00:43 He comes in every day, comes to work,
00:46 he gets there early.
00:47 He's thinking of ways to get me and Cat open looks.
00:50 He's thinking of ways to get Mike and Rudy open looks.
00:53 He's thinking of ways to get Jaden involved.
00:55 He's trying to keep Nas in it to get him involved.
00:57 He's just a great coach,
00:59 and he don't sugar coat anything with anybody.
01:01 Like, if Cat up, he going to get on Cat.
01:03 If I'm up, he going to get on me.
01:05 If Rudy up, he going to get on anybody
01:06 that's messing up throughout the game.
01:08 And I think that's what makes him
01:09 the best coach in the NBA to me,
01:11 because no matter who it is,
01:12 no matter how high the player is on the pole,
01:15 he's going to get on you from start to finish.
01:17 And it starts with the head of the snake,
01:18 and he's the head of our snake.
01:20 And we all listen to him, look up to him,
01:23 and he does it.
01:24 He do a great job of making sure
01:25 we're ready to go every night.
