Spoilers: Transcript of the Chris Ballard end of season press conference on Wednesday

For those that will be at work or school and unable to watch/listen I've taken the liberty of transcribing the presser for all of you.

"Look, the thing is, you have to understand that it's hard to win in this league. It really is hard and it's difficult you know but, \minor laugh to break tension** we are close you know? I mean we are right there we are so close and we are ready for when we get there believe me. We are prepared for when we get there. We like our guys a lot. I think that we all like our guys and we know they can grow over this off-season together. Y'all know by now who I am and what I'm about. Look, we like our guys and the bottom line is we are close. Just hang in there with us. Alright thanks guys"
