"Make that old bastard Michael Jordan shut his damn mouth."
"Right now, the only way to do that is by increasing our offensive options."
"When there's pressure and double-teaming, there are bound to be gaps and opportunities. In the last game, Roger actually created a few chances, but no one was able to capitalize on them."
"As long as someone can respond to the Bulls' crazy double-team, and we survive the third quarter, those old guys won't be able to maintain that kind of defensive intensity."
"But who can provide that response? We can't just gamble on Harper's shooting touch on the day."
"Actually, there's someone right by Roger who can do just that."
"It's just that the guy has trapped himself in a vicious cycle."
"He decided that it was time to have a serious talk with that man."
