I agree with him 100 percent. Watching film everybody is making minor mistakes and I just think being half a step earlier, or being one step over the left or one step over to the right could change the whole outlook of the play as far as the other team getting an easy bucket or a wide open look.
J-Will is always running. We just have to run with him. Sometimes we just can't keep up. ... If we can run with him, he's going to find you.
He is always going to ask for more; usually he's right. We have a lot of areas to improve in. Defense is where our problems are.
We came out and took care of business and that's the sign of a good team, coming out and making adjustments.
I would never approach an official in a physical manner or throw anything at them. I could see how it looked that way.
We can beat anybody. We just haven't been doing it.
We haven't been beating top-10 teams. We felt kind of desperate to get a win. We can beat anybody; we just haven't been doing it.

Anytime you have a Pat Riley running things, calling the shots, you are not going to question things because he has been through it. He knows what it is all about and what it takes to win. All we have to do on our end is play basketball because we know the right calls and the right decisions are going to be made up top.
The Heat gave me an opportunity when nobody else wanted to.
My work ethic I learned at Miami High, and I have taken that with me.
