“The message is the same. Don’t put yourself in a box about how you can impact the game. You need to impact the game in different ways and you have to have balance. You have to be able to go to different things on different nights.” (9/29/2025)

“I see what you did there, trying to build that correlation between Payton and Anfernee, which I’m sure you’ll try to do the whole season, So, nip that in the bud immediately. Those two don’t go hand in hand, they’re completely different guys.” (9/29/202)

“Since he came back, he’s kind of been dealing with it — working through it, fighting through it, doing the best he can. And I think it was just too much for him in that game. He had been working through it since he’s gotten back, and he’s done a great job of being available.” (5/6/2025)

“This guy beat the Russians in chess and then went into Taiwan and beat the natives in tai chi, so he’s able to take on things. If you’re going to coach the Celtics you must be able to take on the type of stuff he did . . . I just felt he could take us to another level.” (5/5/2025)

“It changes substitution patterns, it changes what you're able to do matchup wise and play call, frequency wise, so yeah, I think we felt (his absence). But it's no excuse. We had plenty of opportunities to (win) and hopefully he's ready for Game 2.” (5/5/2025)
