You all know that sometimes we get bored. When something like that happens, it just fuels our fire a little bit, and good luck to the other team when that happens.
We're a family. You know we were going to come to his aid. But we weren't really surprised by that. Ever since that first little incident, every game we play they play a little extra hard and foul a little extra hard. Hey, it's part of the game.
We enjoy the challenge of beating teams on their home turf. The fans will be going crazy and screaming for them like they should, and the Bucks will be feeding off that. We enjoy that level of competition.
We enjoy that challenge of beating a team on their own turf, when their fans are going crazy and screaming for them like they should. We enjoy that challenge and that level of competition.
We got beat at some of our own things. Energy, aggressiveness, hitting the boards, they beat us at all of that.
That was typical Pistons' basketball. We got what we wanted and tightened up on our defense, started taking some things away from them and the ball started going in. We just sort of willed our way.
That was a lot of fun playing in this building. It's been a long time since we had that college-game feeling.
That was a good win. We had a big win (Tuesday night against Dallas) with a lot of emotion and we were able to push that all aside and focus on this one. That was good by us.
That was one of our goals. That and trying to get home court all the way through. So it was important.
That was kind of fun. It was a high-tempo shootout until the end. Our offense is good, and we have some great offensive players, but defense is still what we do.
That's what a great team is all about. When somebody is struggling, somebody else is picking up the slack, and we've done that time and time out.
That's us. We're never rattled. Even when we were down, we're never rattled, and we just keep our composure. That's why we're so good in those tough, grind-it-out situations.
That's the way we play. We got so many options, so many guys who can hurt you.
That says a lot. That's always your first goal every season to try and get the highest seed you can for the playoffs.
