 I mean it means a lot obviously just to exceed expectations and you know for a lot of us in here to see how far that we've come yeah it means a ton and it just you know hopefully a sign of things to come and a sign of things come for the organization. How hungry are you guys coming into this one you know back to backs are tough especially being on the road your hunger showed out there but could you describe what you guys are feeling? Yeah I think you know we we definitely turned it up a notch there defensively it just seemed right from the get-go everybody was locked in locked in in their assignments locked in effort-wise yeah just one of those games where everything was kind of coming together but it really started with with our energy defensively you know we just we set the tone early. Was there a moment this season where you felt like this was possible? You know I think you don't know it's possible until it actually happens so until you get to this point right here you know we're kind of just sort of question marks obviously we had improved a lot exceeded sort of our win total from last year exceeded expectations but until you actually you know clinch a spot you know it didn't really set in until now. But I mean you had been through some stretches and you've been here long enough to have been through some legitimately lean stretches I mean when did you get a feeling about this team that it was different that you'd be down to the wire and have a shot to do this a legitimate shot? I think you know to be honest right after we responded to that eight game losing streak you know I think the confidence in this locker room just kind of went to another level where we you know we're beating some of the better teams in the league both East and West and we just had a sort of confidence about ourselves where you know that we knew we could compete with anybody and we had that chip on our shoulder and we just kind of plugged along all season and we you know definitely earn get into this point right here. What would you say about the job that D'Angelo did all year and particularly since since January 1st? Yeah I mean D'Lo obviously was recognized you know by the league all-star appearance and I think he's honestly played at all NBA level you know he has you know been you know the the main focus for us all year long things that he's done for us offensively not only himself you know obviously he scores and bunches he can really fill it up but him just facilitating and leading the offense you know our offense goes as far as D'Lo takes us. Our guys I mean obviously a quarterback is judged kind of differently though than say a left tackle linebacker I mean they have to get their judge on the playoffs. Yeah is it fair to say that point guard is kind of similar I mean they can put up numbers and so forth and so on but leading a team to the playoffs is kind of the measure of a point guard. Yeah I think it goes for every player not just the point guard you know I think across the board people really earn a level of respect in this league for what they're able to do against high caliber teams. Also Kenny mentioned the veteran impact in here yeah what do you think that's been to kind of help this team mature. Yeah I don't think we start piecing it all together without you know Jared Dudley and Ed Davis and Demarra Carroll guys like that where they bring that veteran presence they've experienced big games they played in playoff situations they just get it and they understand they've been in this league a long time and they really helped everybody show everyone the way on this team. What was Kenny's message after? His message after it was actually pretty funny I mean he came in and basically said you know us as a group exceeded even his expectations you know he talked about it at the beginning of the year he's like you know to be honest he's like I didn't expect us to be a playoff type team but you proved me wrong and he's talked about just the character of this team you know guys one through
