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.

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.

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

In Phil's case, I was personally thrilled he came back, because I think it's huge for the league. When you think about what he's done and how many championships he's won, there's always drama when he comes back in.

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

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

No one is bigger than the team. If you can't do things our way, you're not getting time here and we don't care who you are
