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.

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

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 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.

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

I can't make every decision for you. I don't have 14 timeouts. You guys got to get together and talk

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