Good piece. He also addresses how tough it is for Self to take those guys out, even when we're in "stampede" mode. ;)

I like the part where he talks about Self's new adage: "Pleasure should exceed pressure"

That's a great mantra, and it gets to Self's desire for the team to play loose, play "joyful" (in his words), and let it rip. So far, it seems like our Hawks have embraced that mentality very well. Here's hoping they keep it going for a few more weeks.

I've always thought that was how Arizona beat us in 1997. They let it rip and we played a little cautious.
