“We know it’s a team that’s going to be contending for a title along with us and couple other teams. But we’re focusing on ourselves right now.” […]
“You’ve got San Antonio, you’ve got Houston, you’ve got Boston, you’ve got Cleveland obviously, you’ve got OKC, who I think it’s tough. They nice. You’ve got Minnesota.”
