Zen Master and basketball coach Guru Phil Jackson of LA Lakers says :
"It's basketball and it's still a game and you have to go through the same execution things. You may be moving at a faster rate, you may be playing at a quicker elevation, spirit, et cetera. But if you're not going to be able to do the most basic things, if you come out of your skin things are going to happen awry," he said. "They're not going to go right for you. So you have to stay in character. Even though it's not just a game, it's a different type of a game, but it's something that you have to be able to confront and hold your composure in."
Doc Rivers of the Boston Celtics said:
"You can never take for granted a season, a game, and especially a game seven of a finals. You never know if and when you're going to be back in that position. And so when you get in that position, you want to take advantage of it. I've always thought game seven is the ultimate player game. It's the game that all the things you've worked on all year, you have to do it and execute it and trust and play. You know, there's going to come a time maybe where a timeout is important and an adjustment may be important. And Chuck Daly always said it's the make-miss game. It comes down to makes and misses. And on the misses make sure they don't get another opportunity to have a make, and that's what they come down to."
