I want you in a routine, and I don’t want that routine to vary, whether it’s a meaningless preseason exhibition or the championship game of the Finals. Do what you do every day, so you never have to account for your environment or the situation. Everything stays the same. If it’s the night before the game, you have to be able to say, “Okay, I’ve done everything to get myself to this point, I’m ready.” And then enjoy the evening with the family or friends or whomever you enjoy being with, doing whatever you enjoy doing.
