We never talked about it, never had to challenge ourselves any more than usual. We wanted to play well and win. We felt we had the best team, so every time we played, we thought we should win.

You have to keep the demand out there for them. You can't just give them up right away. It's like when you go to a club and there's a long line out front, then you get inside and there's nobody inside. The wait is the best part.

If you're going to win, ... you have to have the best team . So if somebody goes down, somebody else has to pick it up.

Before the season, everyone was anointing this the best offense ever. Let us play first. Names don't win games. You have to go out and perform.

I've always said the best teams make the playoffs and the hottest teams win, and we haven't been the hottest team.

We're familiar with them and they're familiar with us, so the best team over the next five games will win.
