                                                winning NBA title?
                                                “Not for me....I got in 
to win
                                                a championship...if I 
can
                                                win it, I can get out of
                                                it...that's why I took 
the
                                                job.”







                                                2. On being favored
                                                “I like it...I don't 
know if we
                                                can handle that...can
                                                players grasp that and 
use
                                                it to their advantage.”

Bulls
                                                “With our size and low
                                                post play we would
                                                win...we just keep
                                                pounding the ball down 
low
                                                and just wear them 
down.”
