Cleveland Cavaliers veteran Max Strus was asked what the team’s next step is at last month’s end of the season interview (lost to the Indiana Pacers 4-1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals).

(via Cleveland Cavaliers):

“To me, we’ve got to get tougher — mentally, physically. We know it’s going to be a grind. We’ve now done it twice with this group and a big group of them for three years now. So you could talk about it all you want, but until you actually show up and be about it; talking don’t really matter.”
