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 don't think we'll shoot 76 percent in a half ever again. That's crazy.

We changed our rules. If a player does not have some sot of altercation on or off the court once each month, we fine him...The guys that are our top four scorers, each of them will be required once every two months to appear on MTV. The guys who shoot the worst free throws over a one-month period, next time we have a TV game they're required to look into the camera and beat their chests after they make a good play.

They won't choose Joakim Noah as the MVP, but I think it's great that he's in the conversation and he should be. But it's just not the way it works, from my experience. It's got to go in the basket for you guys to pay attention to somebody. But he's pretty damn valuable in my opinion.

You have to make shots to win basketball games and we didn't do that. You also have to get back on defense, so it was a double-whammy.

The measure of who we are is how we react to something that doesn't go our 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.
