View Photo »I actually thought Vince had a great look — had a dribble right, had great elevation and it just happened to be a little long. But he got a good look
As you look down the list of names, you see superb performances everywhere – Lionel Messi was amazing again, Ivica Kostelić had a brilliant World Cup skiing season, Dirk Nowitzki's performance in the NBA was terrific, and of course Teddy Riner won his sixth world judo title at just 22. Whoever the media...
It would be tough, he's kind of instant offense off the bench
Both teams, it was just an ugly game
Well, you know, usually when you’re a rival you’ve got to beat them more than once in the playoffs
We did play a good playoff series last year and were able to beat them and move on and get ourselves a first [championship] ring ... It's always fun games to play there, a great atmosphere and a great stadium, so we've got to be ready.
We want to get back to winning on the road, winning big games on the road like we did last year ... Hopefully we can get back to that road kill and have some fun and play well.
He helped them get two rings and win a whole lot of games, so I'm sure he's going to get a standing ovation, and he deserves it ... He was there for a long time and really made a lot of great things happen there.
I’m sure he’s going to get a standing ovation
The big guys might team up in one of the big markets. If that's the case, I think we're not going to be the heavy favourites ... But we weren't last year either and we still found a way to fight together and have a good team and fight through some stuff and come out on top.
