SOUNDBITE (English): David West, Indiana Pacers Forward:

"This is right where we expected to be. We've got confidence in the group that we have and feel like we've learned. We've handled some tests the previous couple of rounds so we feel like we're ready to hit the ground running tomorrow. Obviously they've excelled and they've succeeded in these moments - that's why they've won championships - but, again, we're confident in who we are. We just understand, you know, the dynamics that they have in terms of their pressure, their type of intensity that they bring every single possession when you have the basketball."
