Without a doubt, the swagger level goes up, ... Sam Cassell has been talking trash as soon as he came here. That's what we need. We need somebody that's confident like that, saying, hey, jump on our bandwagon or get left behind. We haven't had that.
We knew they were white-hot and were winning a lot of ballgames, but we were confident coming in. Even down four at the half, we were still confident. We knew that once we made our adjustments, we'd be OK in the second half.
We didn't really lose our swagger. We just didn't play well defensively in some games. We feel confident coming into every game and we've been playing well as of late.
