535 Quotes by Pat Riley

The team itself was hung over from last night, and very disappointed by it.

We're a long ways away, and they'll be the first ones to admit it. There's a lot of good here that manifests itself throughout the season. Right now, it's spotty.

I'm really tired of talking about it. I hate to do it, but there's a huge double standard here. He turns in, it's a foul on him. And they're pushing and shoving on him all the time.

He had 19 at the half and I ran one play for him. He just gets it.

The first three or four minutes, they fronted him and put a guy behind him. Then they started to play him straight up and straight down. Then they started to double-team him, and he not only scored, but he picked their defense apart.

We played the game very well offensively. So much better than we did (in Friday's loss) against San Antonio.

I never saw that in him. He's very competitive ... but I'm a little surprised it went that far.

He made the game easy for us. There are nights when there's going to be some real heavy lifting on his part, and there are going to be nights when he has to facilitate. I thought he did a great job in doing that.
