01:46I mean, we've been the underdogs since I've gotten here for the last three years.
01:50Every game in the playoffs, it felt like nobody wanted us to win.
01:53We're here, and nothing's new, and we're going to attack it with the same mindset.
01:57If we were to win a championship, I don't want to win any other way.
