People don't understand it, they don't appreciate it and there aren't too many people who know how to teach it ... That's the way I grew up playing basketball. So much of what's happened in the NBA and AAU programs is individualistic, and I just don't think that's the right way to play. I don't think it...

we still want to maintain an inside presence and Jawai has showed us he can do some things ... Also, he's someone who can get in and battle [with Dallas center Erick Dampier].

I know Kurt Rambis had those big thick glasses, got clobbered going for that layup and got up ready to fight
SOURCE: Minneapolis Star Tribune -
This is not something that’s not going to turn around in the first 10 games. We still don’t know who we are as a ballgame until Al Jefferson is back 100 percent, until Kevin Love is back, until we have an idea of a nice starting unit and a set rotation where guys can feel comfortable. Until then, we’ll ...

I was fairly pleased with how our guys played, much more so than how we played for good chunks of time against Milwaukee the other night ... Portland's a really good team.

My mother said never to second-guess a decision. The Celtics aren’t the first NBA team to eliminate shootarounds, or to experiment with ways to maximize sleep. But by virtue of their success, the C’s are the best example, along with talent, of what rest can do for a veteran team. They know what they’re ...

I'm making it very difficult on him. I'm not just letting him go out there and run pick and rolls all the time. That's what he wants to do - that's what he's comfortable with - that's what he ran at Syracuse. I'm challenging him to step out of that zone ... I think it's going to help his education - his...

I'm doing it with a one-guard front ... I wanted to be able to give Jonny Flynn and Ramon Sessions space to operate if they had opportunities to take the ball and go one-on-one. The triangle is something more that we flow into.

The effort’s there ... He loves the game. He wants to be terrific. I’m making it very difficult on him. I’m not letting him run the pick-and-roll all the time. That’s what he wants to do.

He's a fearless competitor. He has picked up the offence as well as anybody on our team ... and I like the way he's picking up challenges defensively. Brewer averaged 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in the Timberwolves' first three games under Rambis, who has installed a version of former boss Phil Jackson...

The Cleveland Cavaliers can go out there and play with teams. ... No matter what's going on, they've got somebody who can create opportunities and get anywhere he wants on the floor ... We don't have players like that, so we'll have to fight, scratch and claw from the opening tip on.

It has just been my experience that when you pass them out, playbooks just get shoved toward the back of a locker and never get looked at ... Putting them on an iPod doesn't guarantee that they're going to get looked at it, either. They'll just decide that's getting in the way of their music.

It doesn't look great when you look at their shooting percentage ... But I thought we did some good things defensively things that I hadn't been seeing before tonight. We're not going to fix everything in one preseason game in Detroit, though.

He's been terrific ... He has a great ability to change directions, to shift gears, to change speeds. It's just very difficult for players to be able to do that and he can do that. He's still learning the most difficult position in the NBA, and coming out of school early (after his sophomore season at S...

Chris Bosh is a heck of a cover ... I challenged Al knowing it was difficult for him, covering somebody who could score outside. I wasn't going to support him with double teams. I allowed him to see if he could defend guys on his own. Defending by himself is a learning experience for him.
