00:00PJ, they're actually just showing the replay here on television of you knocking down the

00:19three for the Mavs to go up by six with 26 seconds to go.

00:23When you were screaming after making that shot, and I know a lot of NBA players do this,

00:29are you specifically looking at a person in the stands or are you just screaming at all

00:33of the stands?

00:35Everybody.

00:36Everybody.

00:37You've got to let everybody know, you know?

00:41I literally was thinking the same thing last night.

00:43I was like, did he say somebody's name just now?

00:45And he was looking at them specifically.

00:47I really did think that last night.

00:49No, that was for the whole crowd.

00:52With the win, you got, this is something I will admit, a week or so ago, Jason Kidd

00:58talked about the excitement regarding the NBA Cup, and I have maybe scoffed at that

01:03a bit here or there.

01:04Do you get the sense that people are excited about this, as opposed to, like, you want

01:08to win the game?

01:09I understand that, but do you get the sense that people are pumped about, hey, y'all are

01:12moving on in the NBA Cup and all of that?

01:15I mean, yeah, it's amazing.

01:16I mean, at the end of the day, you would love to, I mean, have these caliber games early

01:21in the season.

01:22Everybody's playing extremely hard.

01:24Everybody's obviously trying to get to Vegas, and for us, you know, we want to get, I don't

01:28know, obviously the guys who don't make as much as the better players, we want to get

01:33them paid as well.

01:35So that's what it's all about, and it's next man up mentality for us as well.
