Basketball is a pretty simple game. What wins is consistency and competitiveness.

I'm not one to blow smoke at my players. They kicked our butts on the offensive boards. And it's not just because the ball came their way.

I'm pleased that they performed as well as they did while we've been in Miami and that's about as far as it goes. Now, we've got to go home and play as well or better.

I try not to get impressed. I just try to look at what I see.

We would have two less championships here if it was not for Manu Ginobili. In my eyes, he's the stud of the world.

I asked them if it wasn't too much trouble, if I wasn't being too pushy, if they could execute what we were trying to do. And if it didn't make them too angry, if they also wanted to play some defense on the other end, that would be great.
