Then adding: “I think we’ve got some special players, I think we’ve got a good combination of experience with some energetic youth, I think we play defence and we really like to play defence.
“I think we have a group of professionals that go out there and know their jobs and understand their roles, and I think that’s one thing I will say we have: True professionals and guys that want to win and continue to chase what we want to get again, and that’s to get a trophy at the end of this season,”Serge Ibaka
said in response to why the team believes a long playoff run is in the cards for it. “I think it’s our confidence, nobody can take that from us, we trust each other, we know what to do to win. “…No matter what’s going around out there, whatever they’re saying, I think that’s one thing they cannot take from us is our confidence. The confidence we have now and how we live with each other, how we know how to play with each other, I think is one thing that nobody can take that from us.”
