[TheNorthCydeRises]

Comments from interview:

- Explaining Hawks hot start: Gave credit to conditioning and addition of new players ( Crawford and Joe Smith )

- Main motivation of Hawks: To do better because of how last year ended, gave props to Jamal again for helping team be better

- What they need to work on: Composure ( specifically referenced how they kept it in Knicks game ) and need to improve defensively.

- View of Boston game tonight: Every game is a big deal to Al, but looks at Boston game as definitely important. To win, they need to be tuned in to Woody's gameplan

- Reference to Paul Pierce "bet" in Game 2 of 2008 playoffs: Described it as playful . . all fun and games . . and didn't extend beyond the court

- Being part of NBA Hispanic marketing program: Proud to represent DR and Latin America

Nothing groundbreaking, but nice to always see and/or hear guys on TV.
