THREE QUOTES

CHRIS BOSH on the Heat's ball movement:
“It is everything for us, we want to make the game easier for everybody and moving the ball is how we play together and how we take advantage of all the talent we have. A lot of guys made sacrifices to be here and it only works if we play together.”

DWYANE WADE on overcoming complacency:

“We know what works for us; just sometimes we don’t do it. We just have to continue moving the ball and understanding that we are at our best when everyone is involved.  It keeps everyone alert. That is the recipe for success for us, keeping everyone involved.”

LEBRON JAMES on 500 straight games in double figures:

“I had no idea. That is pretty cool when you put it that way, it lets me know that I have been healthy and I have been able to go out on the court and do what I need to do to help the team win.”
