We haven't even talked about Miami, so this has been about playing the other team.

Miami is still a tough team without Shaq, and Wade proved that. We had to grind it out in the end to get the win. It's big for us because we know they will be there in the end. Having home court advantage really helps us out.

We feel fortunate that we're in a position where we're looking down on the Miami Heat. Half-a-game lead. In a way, I'm surprised. And yet, we've got nothing to crow about.

Miami this year had an incredible team down there, ... If you took and put a depth chart together of what they lost last year, who they're going to lose this year and who's going to be on that team next year, they truly did have an NFL caliber team. There's no two ways about that.

I'm going to address the team and try to set down some parameters as to how we're going to deal with it, ... This is something now that we seriously have to take as another type of an issue, where there's a certain sense of where our privacy lies and where the boundaries lie, that we're going to have to address and we're going to have to be serious about it.

There really is something nice about it as far as energizing this team. This team has some deadbeats on it, anyway, and the coach is one of them. It's good to have some people out there that are enthusiastic about the game.
