Heat remarks:
"I think we have enough people to win. It all depends on how well we
play together and play defense."  Kevin Loughery

"I'm here to talk." Grant Long in Miami, November 5th.

"I'd like to see [Grant's] condition first, but, I can see him playing
if he's here." Kevin Loughery, November 6th.

"I dont think [the city of] Miami thinks about Orlando much.  I think
Orlando thinks about Miami.  It's the way New Jersey sees New York.  New
York doesnt spend a whole lot of time wondering what's going on in New
Jersey."  Lewis Schaffel

"It's going to be a rivalry only if we're fighting for something, like a
better playoff standing or something like that. [...] They have to at
least make the playoffs first."  Rony Seikaly
