"Heat is getting there" <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Riley says Heat is 'getting there' Coach: Defensive personality main concern By Ira Winderman South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted February 17 2006 Six weeks ago, just under a month into his second tour as Heat coach, Pat Riley said it would likely take six more weeks to get his team playing his style. Now, as the Heat heads into the All-Star break, Riley was asked to reflect on how far his team has come since he replaced Stan Van Gundy on Dec. 12. Q. Are you where you want to be, expected to be? A. "It's getting there. The big guy [center Shaquille O'Neal] is coming. I could really see him struggling back then, coming off his ankle injury and having to get everything back together. The injuries have been a problem with Jason [Williams]. But I think, for the most part, you've gotten real plus work out of Gary [Payton] and with Antoine [Walker]. Of all the players, Antoine's had the biggest mental adjustment to make, based on what he could still do if he was a number-one option guy." </div> http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/basketb...fla-sports-heat Good article. I like how he said we're a power team.
