The Waltham Celtic Warriors pulled out a great victory on Tuesday, 72-66 over the Houston Stars. This stings even more, considering Stars' PF Raúl Sáenz recently won the League MVP trophy. Houston also had two other players finish in the top 7 of voting, while the Warriors had one. We caught up with Sáenz in the locker room today after workouts.
Q: How does it feel to be V.22 MVP?
A: Yeah man, it feels great y'know? Just...yeah. Man.
Q: Do you feel confident about tomorrow's game?
A: Y'know man, we just gotta...y'know, get out there and play our game.
Q: Which would be basketball?
A: Yeah, basketball, y'know, the game. We play.
Q: Even though the Warriors were running a fast paced, full court offense, they still contended for the rebound quite a bit, how do you feel you'll do against that?
A: I'll just do my thing, y'know...go in there, jump, and hopefully get the ball. Just gotta...
Q: Play your game?
A: Yeah.
Well, we'll be looking forward to seeing what this Harvard Graduate can do on Saturday in Game 2 of the Championship Series, as the Warriors hope to seal the deal against League MVP Raúl Sáenz and the Houston Stars.
