More Quotes from Pat Riley:
The only reason there's a rivalry is because the media has created two icons, very young icons. I don't think there's any kind of rivalry yet. Rivalries are born out of hate. And I don't think players today in this league have a dislike for each other anymore. There's just too much backslapping and hugging and all that stuff.Pat Riley
When is it going to start That's the question I posed to them tonight. When are we going to start beating quality teams It's time to put up or shut up. That's how I look at it.
