湖人投籃教練Mike Penberthy在接受采訪時談到了快艇。
當被問到湖人是否曾期待著在西部決賽中對陣快艇時，Penberthy說：“我們不在意。我是說，快艇進行了大量造勢。他們是一支很棒的球隊。
我認為他們的執教水準很高，也充滿天賦。他們有自己的問題要處理，對此我不清楚詳情，因為那和我所在的教練組無關，所以不論出於何種原因，他們沒能搞定金塊。但說實話，我們不在乎。”
“金塊擊敗了他們。所以我們知道我們要全力備戰金塊，因為他們顯然是更好的那支球隊。
最好的球隊總能在七場系列賽中勝出。所以，很明顯他們實力不如金塊。金塊在一輪七場系列賽中四次擊敗他們，對此你不可能有別的說法，說他們不是更好的那支球隊。最好的球隊總是會脫穎而出。這對我們不重要。
“我覺得所有人都希望我們這麼想，'哦，耶！我們等不及要打快艇了！'聽著，我們在努力贏得冠軍。擋在我們面前的對手是誰不重要，所以假如快艇當時晉級了，我們也不會認為那將是一輪比金塊更難的考驗。
這是顯而易見的，對吧？金塊擊敗了他們。我們覺得無論怎樣我們都將經歷一輪惡戰。但實話實說，我不認為我們中的任何一人，至少在我們的內部圈子中間有人真的在意過這事。我們肯定不怕他們。”Penberthy說道。
在此前進行的西部半決賽中，金塊以4-3逆轉淘汰快艇，隨後在西部決賽中以1-4不敵湖人，無緣總決賽。

RW: Were you guys looking forward to facing the [Los Angeles] Clippers in the Western Conference Finals?
MP:e really didn’t care. I mean, I think the Clippers made a lot of hype about the Clippers.
Look, they’re a really good team. I thought they were really well-coached and talented. They had their own issues that they had to deal with, and I don’t know the details for that one that didn’t involve my staff, so whatever reason they weren’t able to close the deal against Denver, but we really didn’t care to be honest with you.
Denver beat them. So we knew we had our hands full with Denver because they were obviously a better team. The best team always wins in seven games. So obviously they weren’t better than Denver. There’s no way that you can say that after a seven-game series that Denver beat them four times in seven games and they’re not a better team. The best team always wins.
It didn’t really matter to us. I think everybody wants us to be like, ‘Oh yeah! We can’t wait to take on the Clippers!’ Look, we were trying to win. It didn’t matter who was in front of us, so if the Clippers were going to be there, we didn’t think it was going to be a tougher test than Denver. Obviously, right? Denver beat them. We figured we were in for a dogfight either way, but I don’t think any of us, to be honest with you, at least in our inner group, none of us really cared. We definitely
weren’t scared of them.
