Jazz 2/23/08: Pre-Game

Here are my thoughts on the pre-game speech to the troops, as I walk out the door:

It doesn't matter whether we play better. It matters whether we play tougher. Ignore the bad calls, the missed calls, the missed shots. Don't be drawn into the circus around you -- the other team's fancy warm-up drills, the screaming coaches/players, the large crowd. Focus on basketball. Focus on becoming a team. Focus on becoming better men.

At this point we're as prepared as we can be. It's time to get it on.
