00:00I feel like that's been the norm for us throughout the playoffs, and that's okay.

00:04We're not really worried about the external noise.

00:07We know what we have to do to win, and we have to do it together.

00:12Anything outside of that, we're not concerned ourselves with.

00:15We enjoy it.

00:16I think everybody in our locker room, our staff, we enjoy being the underdogs.

00:20I mean, we've been the underdogs since I've gotten here for the last three years.

00:24Every game in the playoffs, it felt like nobody wanted us to win.

00:27We're here, and nothing's new.

00:29We're going to attack you with the same mindset.

00:31I'm not really trying to think about how much I deserve to be here, because I know I work really hard.

00:38I also have a great team, a great team that we didn't start the season the right way,

00:42and we finally found ourselves in time for us to be in the finals.

00:49It's been a great thing.

00:51This is my 10th year.

00:52This is my first time playing in the finals.

00:54You know, people have to realize how hard this is to do, and to be able to experience it,

01:02I want a lot of us to know how hard it is to get here, but the job's not done.

01:09You know, we have to, we have four more wins, and we've got to focus on that.

01:12Thank you, thanks.
