We rely on a lot of people. We play a lot of people, and we feel like we have a lot of talent on the bench that can come in and score when we need it, Kerr said.So its a great sign, obviously, that we can win in the finals without those two guys having big games, but its not really that surprising to us. This has been our team the last couple of years. Supreme Air Max 98 .
