00:00The Bucs will also be part of that knockout round on the Eastern Conference.
00:08They blasted the Pistons 128-107.
00:11So now Doc, a little bit different than Tibbs, gets pretty much the same question.
00:16Do you care that you've made the knockout round of the NBA Cup?
00:19Doc cares, he's just not really quite sure how exactly they got there.
00:23Again, it's great.
00:24You know, they put a tournament in front of us and we want to win it and we said that
00:29early on and we're 4-0, but we still have a lot of work to do.
00:32But the bottom line is, we earned a chance to play at home, I think.
00:36I don't even know the rules.
00:38I think that's true.
00:39Is that a true statement?
00:40Yes.
00:41Okay.
00:42Yeah, you're playing at home, Doc.
00:43Don't worry.
00:44The game's at home next week.
00:45Look, they haven't played well at all this year, and yet here they are in the quarters
00:49of the Cup.
00:50And don't tell me it doesn't matter when the LA Lakers bragged about it for a year, that
00:56they won this first inaugural NBA Cup.
00:59Believe me, you, they wanted that money.
01:03They wanted that bag.
01:05They wanted that trophy.
01:07There is no player in basketball that is in a tournament of any kind, anywhere, holiday,
01:13high school holiday tournaments.
01:16Everyone wants to win when you're in a tournament, when you're in like the basketball tournament.
01:21It's for a million bucks.
01:22They play, they'll just soon kill you, they'll let you score in that title game of that basketball
01:27tournament.
01:28And the NCAAs, everyone wants to win it.
01:30They're not in it to lose.
01:32Everyone thinks they're going to win it when they go.
01:34And it's the same as this.
01:36And if you win one more game, you also get to spend a couple days in Vegas for those
01:41games, which is a little bit out of the norm.
01:44It's out of the everyday grind of, you know, you're traveling, you're home, you're on the
01:48road, you know, at least you're going somewhere different.
