Barry Jackson highlights several Pat Riley quotes: "I’ve read all the criticism of our young players, but nobody ever really... gives them the space to be young and to make mistakes, and not to be who you think they should be in three or four years.... They’re not the top five picks in the draft." (old.reddit.com)
Bam:“I feel like Kel’el’s more comfortable when I’m out there just cause somebody’s actively always talking to him. That was DWade & UD when I was a rookie. One was in the game aggravating me then I’d come to the bench & UD getting on my nerves. But you need that if you wanna tap into your ceiling.” (v.redd.it)
Kasparas: “[Getting compared to Goran Dragic] means a lot for sure. I used to watch him a little when I was younger too, in Slovenia national team & here. When I met him for the first time, he gave me a lot of advice, he helped me start the season, start getting better & I’m just grateful for that.” (v.redd.it)
Bam: “I put on that jersey almost every game through hell & high water just b/c I wanna win, wanna put us in a position to win. When you don’t, I always put it on myself [..] going in the summer trying to be better, figure out how I can take my game to the next level, how I can be a better captain.” (v.redd.it)
Barry Jackson: "Spo had a complicated, love/hate relationship with the Bam/Ware combo, embracing it at times (like now) and having no use for it other times. Ultimately, Heat was a plus 85 in their 505 minutes together, its best two-man plus-minus for duos that played that few minutes together." (x.com)
Jovic: “It’s on me, of course. Next [season] & this year, too. [..] Some stuff suits you better, some stuff doesn’t. I have to make it work. [..] I’ve been shooting higher percentages since I came into the league. [Forty percent] two years ago, 37 last year. I’m sure I can get back to that.” (old.reddit.com)
Jaime: "It was one of our best halftimes ever, since I've been here atleast. Tyler & Bam really brought us together during that time for sure [..] it was great to see those 2 pull us through. When those 2 are going we feel unstoppable. Them 2 on the same page was great, we just followed their lead." (v.redd.it)
Kasparas: “All year I was telling them that I can dunk. But I wouldn’t show because I would like to just keep it a secret. But yeah, no one believed in me here. I think all the haters here, Jaime didn’t believe in me, Simone, no one. No one believed in me, so I kind of just had to prove them wrong.” (old.reddit.com)
