00:00And after that blowout, that's just what it was.
00:02Exactly.
00:03No, it was a blowout.
00:04So is anybody beating this team?
00:06Because it doesn't look that way.
00:08Well, you know, it's early.
00:09You know, I think this is the best team in basketball.
00:13I think they don't have, you know, when you look at teams,
00:15you look at flaws.
00:16If they have any flaws, I don't see a team having any flaws.
00:19Other than size, and it's still just for seeing
00:21as it gets back, they will have size.
00:22But this team is incredible.
00:25And it's so weird because, you know,
00:28everybody is going to play with a chip on their shoulder.
00:31You know, and they look and, you know,
00:32I've never seen a team come into a season
00:35where they're freaking mad, you know,
00:37because they won a championship.
00:38You become excited.
00:40They're mad because of what transpired this summer
00:42with the Olympics and stuff.
00:44What was the biggest challenge for you
00:47when you were on teams that won back-to-back?
00:48You did it earlier in your career with Houston.
00:50You did it again with the Lakers.
00:52But going into that next season after winning,
00:54what was the biggest challenge?
00:56You know, it came down to injuries.
00:59Injuries, and because it's hard because you go so long
01:03into the summer that you don't have the proper time
01:05to let your body rest.
01:06And then you're right back at it.
01:07So I think injuries was number one.
01:09And the second one was complacency.
01:11You know, some guys get, you know,
01:12it's called being high on the hill.
01:14You get complacent.
01:15You think, oh, I don't have to do this.
01:16I don't have to do that.
01:18But the hardest thing to do is to defend your title.
01:21And you look at so many teams that you look at
01:23what Dallas did.
01:24They won and didn't win.
01:26Denver, you know, everybody thought Denver was going
01:28to take over.
01:29They only won one.
01:30They thought Milwaukee was only going to win one.
01:32I know the Celtics franchise as a whole has the most,
01:35but, you know, that's in the past.
01:36You talk about this team right here.
01:38Are they going to be able to go back-to-back?
01:40And it's hard to do that.
01:41You got to have the right mindset.
01:43You got to be, you know, really lucky.
