    We are all familiar with famous lines from Drex, Bull, McHale...
    (Clubbing baby seals, play harder! ...)

    Like him or not, Mike seems to be very opinionated and does not shy from sharing or voicing them.

    "You owe us one!" [screams at ref after blatant missed call]

    Not knowing what they are supposed to do [on the court] is a lazy person's excuse for not playing hard enough. They have no problem standing in line for their pay checks. [I believe directed at Pau Gasol]

    I find them refreshing.

    What others are there?

    Agreed. He's got quite the explosive personality.

    "Most of the time when there's a communication problem, it's because the message being received is not the message you want. It's not that they don't know what they need to do, how we need to act as a team, whatever. If you don't like the message, then you go say there's a communication problem"

    From JB Bickerstaff to Mike D'Antoni, I have no complaint.

    Didn't you realize this is actually just another "D'mo" thread?

    "12-13" assists per game
    (In refernce to James Harden prior to season's start)

    I snickered then but maybe this Pringles guy knows a thing or two.

    "He just good. He really, really good."

    Reporter: Do you see him as a power forward or a center?
    D'Antoni: Yes

    I got to say one of the things I always look forward to the most during game nights it's his post game interview lol It's almost as if he don't give a %$&^ what comes out of his mouth lol No filter. Very self-depracating and funny.
