Raul Neto Describes How He Stays Ready After Big Game For The Cavs

He talked about his mindset after the game and said:

"I've been in this league for eight years. I've been in every position you can imagine. I've been starting, back up point guard, fourth point guard and you've got to find times where you can, you need to work on your game, work on your body, make sure you stay ready physically, make sure you stay ready mentally."

Neto went on to say he works more on how to stay ready mentally perhaps even more than how much he works on the court. 

This is exactly why the Cavs wanted to bring in a guy such as Neto. Even though his work ethic may sometimes be not seen by fans, his teammates clearly recognize it. 

Caris Levert applauded him for the way he played and said:

"First of all, Raul is a true professional. People who don't play basketball don't know how hard that is to not play several games and not know if you're going play and have to go in and guard Chris Paul full court. And to play the way he did offensively too, that's extremely hard to do. Not a lot of people can do that, so shoutout to him." 

This just goes to show that just because a player may not average 20 points or play 30 minutes a night, they can still have a profound effect on a team.
