against basketball both bottom couple game good played teams win
Both teams were fantastic. It was a really good win against a very, very good basketball team. We played very, very well. That's the bottom line. We both played well. There were a couple of stretches that were not that great, but it's a 48-minute game and that happens.

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.

basketball play trying
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.

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

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

It's not about any one person. You've got to get over yourself and realize that it takes a group to get this thing done
