Speaking in a recent interview with the Portuguese outlet A Bola (translation via Google), the Lisbon native shared that he prefers to take the court against Boston's biggest rivals in their home arenas.
"Going to play against the (New York) Knicks at Madison Square Garden is excellent," said Queta of the reigning NBA champs. "There's always that whole history. Going to Crypto Arena against the (Los Angeles) Lakers is always special because there's that rivalry."
"But now I also like going to the (Los Angeles) Clippers' arena," added the Boston big, "now that it's a super, top-of-the-line arena, full of technology and very futuristic." Even so, there is one matchup in particular that Queta is looking forward to – and it doesn't seem to matter where it happens first.
"I've already silenced everyone on the court, the only one left is Jaylen Brown," explained Queta of his former teammate and current Philadelphia 76er.
"When we played against each other (in practice), we always told each other not to even try to jump or dunk on each other. And now we're rivals… It's going to be a clash of titans in the basket."
