Pat Riley Love Quotations

He told me how exciting it was to coach and that I would probably love it. That was very encouraging.

I thought Jason was great. I love him as a point guard. I wouldn't have traded for him if I didn't. And I thought Wade was really good. He was magnificent.

I love to see when teams let him catch it and then double-team him. I know we're going to get all kinds of good shots.

I thought we played better as far as moving the ball. The one thing that happened the other day in New Jersey and where we get into problems is that we have a bunch of guys that love to attack and sometimes when we attack too much we don't get off the ball.

He's had that problem in the past. In the second half, I would have loved to give him a rest. But when I wanted to, the game was tied and we went down.

Nobody knew he was hurt because he wanted the two points on the lay-up so bad. He drove all the way down and dunked the ball, and then blood was rushing out of his nose. That's who he is. He'll fight through anything. I love him, respect him, admire him and I wish more of our guys would take on his attitude.

First of all, I wouldn't believe a word that Damon Jones said. I love Damon. Damon is one of the all-time characters.
