Chris Finch on Micah Nori's contract situation in Portland:
"The first thing I would like to say about that is I thought it was a shame that a lot of the story about Micah's great opportunity was overshadowed by the nature of the deal that he signed. That's a personal decision. That's a business decision. That's between him the team and the agent."
"I just know this: There's 30 of these jobs. They're hard to get."
"I also know that you gotta bet on yourself in this world. And especially when you're an outsider. We consider ourselves a little bit of outsiders. We weren't raised in the game. We didn't play at North Carolina or Duke. So sometimes your path is just different and you gotta take chances along the way."

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
What footwork do you teach on closeouts?
Chopping your feet is too slow. The hockey stop is too dangerous. The 4-step breakdown is the perfect balance. 2 steps to control, 2 steps to impact.
