Nimari Burnett previews Howard

In my opinion, yes, especially with just being my last one, my last ride, and going out with these guys, you know, that I call my family and my family for life. So I'm excited to, you know, put, you know, blood, sweat, and tears out there on the court.

They really, really speed up the pace defensively and offensively. They feed off their turnovers that they create and create transition opportunities, and they just wreak havoc out there on the floor. We watched that last night and throughout their season, and we're looking forward to, you know, imposing our will against them. Being a veteran presence on this team, to the younger guys, what's your message to them about playing in this Just play with poise, play with good pace, and, you know, kind of do what we've been doing so good at throughout the year.

And, you know, we're big inside and imposing physically, defensively, offensively, and, you know, taking care of the ball and letting the game come to us. And inevitably we'll be where we want to be at the end of the game.

Yeah, being in the moment and appreciating the moment you have, I think is very important. I practice gratitude every day and these guys around me are super grateful to be in this moment and we understand that let's not take it for granted because we only have one guaranteed game. So going into tomorrow with the mindset to play great basketball and all that matters is this moment.
