MIAMI -- Pat Riley walked into the room to begin his end-of-season availability annoyed, and armed with history. Tanner Lee Jaguars Jersey . There have been franchises that have enjoyed prolonged runs of greatness during his 45 years as a player, coach and executive in the NBA -- the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Spurs and his Miami Heat among them -- and Thursday Riley pointed out each shares a trait. They all lost sometime. "I think everybody," the Heat president said moments after smacking the table to begin the news conference, "needs to get a grip." With that, Riley was off and running on a message-sending session that lasted nearly an hour. No players were there, but they surely heard his themes: He saw his teams mental fatigue during the year, but doesnt accept it; he isnt willing to let Miami fall from the ranks of the NBA elite, and the organization will do what it can to keep LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade together. "We have a tremendous opportunity here for long-term success," Riley said. "Dont think were not going to get beat again, so just get a grip, everybody. Thats my message. Its my message to the players, also." It was one of his many messages. Riley, who gets a reported $75,000 when hired to deliver motivational speeches, worked in anecdotes on everything from sipping Johnnie Walker Blue to playing James Ingram records to how even at 69 years old he still finds himself dreaming big. He was speaking with reporters, but clearly talking to players through the cameras. "Youve got to stay together, if youve got the guts," Riley said. "You dont find the first door and run out of it if you have an opportunity. This is four years now into this era, this team. Four finals -- its only been done three other times before -- and two championships. From day one to the end, it was like a Broadway show. It sort of ran out of steam. And we need to retool. We dont need to rebuild." How to retool is the question, but the answer isnt up to Riley yet. James, Bosh and Wade all need to decide if theyre going to opt out of their contracts, a choice that was probably going to be complicated even if the Heat hadnt lost the NBA Finals to San Antonio, ending Miamis two-year reign as league champions. From those decisions, Heat free-agents-to-be -- Ray Allen, Mario Chalmers, Chris Andersen and others -- may start charting their futures. Players from other teams will listen as well. Then Riley and the Heat spring into action on July 1, just as they did four years ago when they netted James, Bosh and Wade. Other than Norris Cole, no Heat player currently is locked into a fully guaranteed deal for next season. But Riley doesnt feel the Heat need to recruit current players again. "Were prepared," Riley said. "Weve got the main-themed book all written up and its dependent on whatever the scenario were presented with on July 1. Weve got a lot of room for flexibility. Theres a tremendous amount of flexibility depending on what happens. So were ready." He offered plenty of perspective on Thursday, about how he still feels like he choked away what should have been a title for the Lakers team he coached in 1984, but how they roared back with three titles in the next four seasons. He even referenced how San Antonio got much better this season after seeing a title in 2013 get taken away by Miami in dramatic fashion. "What happened last year with San Antonio? Did they run? They faced it," Riley said. "They faced it and they came back, and we saw the result. Well find out what were made of here. Its not about options. Its not about free agency. Its not about anything. Its about what we have built over four years here." Among Rileys more impassioned defences was the one of Wade, who was widely criticized for both missing 28 games in the regular season -- mainly part of a maintenance program laid out by the team -- and for struggling in Games 4 and 5 of the NBA Finals. "For the last 10 years, this has been a Dwyane Wade-driven thing," Riley said. "Now does he have to reinvent himself a little bit? Absolutely." Riley can only hope that reinvention is in Miami, and that James and Bosh are there as well. "Im an Irish guy who believes in big dreams," Riley said. "Im optimistic. Until thats proven different, I just have a level of optimism that there isnt a better place for players to be than Miami." Ronnie Harrison Jaguars Jersey . -- Manchester United thrilled a record crowd with a brilliant opening goal -- and even Cristiano Ronaldos unexpected entrance proved futile for Real Madrid. Will Richardson Jaguars Jersey . Parmelee hit a game-ending shot in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins overcame David Ortizs big night to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 on Tuesday. http://www.shopthejaguarsonline.com/Elite-Taven-Bryan-Jaguars-Jersey/ . 1 player in the world. So Duval gutted it out Thursday at the Byron Nelson Championship despite the pain from a muscle issue in his right elbow, a day after his stepson had to drive him because he couldnt even use that arm.FRANKFURT - Borussia Dortmund earned a much-needed confidence boosting 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Friday to lift itself from the bottom of the table.Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp made five changes in his lineup and one of the newcomers, Ilkay Gundogan, scored with a fine header in the 17th minute that was enough for the three points.The 2011 and 12 Bundesliga champion produced a fighting performance and wasted several good chances as it dominated the match. Efficiency has been one of Dortmunds main problems this season, but it also had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside.One of the five men benched by Klopp was goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller, whose place was taken by Mitch Langerak, a rarely used Australian who had a quiet evening.Klopp said Langeraks promotion was not a permanent move, but the coach added that he would make another decision after this match.I wanted to see Mitchs freshness, his smile in the goal, Klopp said.Klopp also had central defender Mats Hummels returning affter injury and the World Cup winner added stability to Dortmunds defence, which allowed Hoffenheim few openings. DJ Chark Jersey. . Hummels made a key clearance at the start of the second half, heading away a free kick by Pirmin Schwegler that appeared headed for the net.It was a very important victory, Hummels said. We played a very good game.Dortmunds fourth victory of the season gave it 14 points and lifted it to 14th place but it remains to be seen if it will remain out of the danger zone once the weekend is over.Gundogan, starting in place of Shinji Kagawa for the first time this season, scored at the far post after a pinpoint cross from the right from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while goalkeeper Oliver Baumann also mistimed his exit.Aubameyang had a header disallowed for offside but television replays showed it was a wrong decision.Baumann compensated for his early mistake by foiling Aubameyang and then tipping over a powerful header from Hummels, before Aubameyang hit the post in 75th.
