They had guys on the court who can shoot threes. We don't do it very often, but I told them to foul.

I told them, 'Shaq wants to win the championship. He wants to prove he can do it without Kobe. Detroit wants to get it back again,'

Tim not scoring, he doesn't care. He had six assists and led the team. ... He's unselfish enough to find guys on the floor and let them play.

We noticed in the paper they liked to shoot a lot of threes and we wanted to take that away from them.

They shoot good and they shoot quick. They shoot their threes real quick. It seems like their whole team is guards.

They told me enough times ... if you don't like it, take us to court. Okay, I will. If they don't like the way the law's written, change the law.
