He got himself involved. It wasn't so much anything we did specifically ? we did really the same things we've been doing. He found ways to get his hands on the ball.
He gave me an excuse, and I didn't buy it. I told him that's what we need him to do. Andre is not selfish at all, but he has to be selfish in that sense to try to get shots up, because we need him to.

We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.
He wasn't calm. He was angry, and he had every right to be. What I got out of it is that the guys need to take a challenge to make this team better. He talked about this bad time were going through and how we need to stick together. It's very important for us to stay together as a unit.

I feel like if they want us to dress a certain way, they should pay for our clothes. It's just tough, man, knowing that all of a sudden you have to have a dress code out of nowhere. I don't think that's going to help the image of the league at all. ... It kind of makes it fake. The whole thing is fake.
I feel good about how we're trying to get better defensively. We're nowhere near where we want to be, but I like the effort.

Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.
I was like a kid in a candy store. It felt like the first game of the season because I was excited to be back.
