came pleased
I was pretty pleased with our effort. We came in and competed.
came fourth quarters responsibility third
We were embarrassed in the first half. I've got to take responsibility for our play in the first half. It was awful, unacceptable. We came back in the third and fourth quarters and competed.
ball came club continue gotta guys move next says until
It says a lot for our ball club that our guys came out and competed until the end. You just gotta move on and continue and play the next one.
beat came far fourth quarters third ways
I think we were embarrassed in that first half. They outplayed us in every way. They beat us in all ways that you could. We came out and competed in the third and fourth quarters but were just too far down.
again biggest came cap joe shot tip
Joe came up big again tonight. You have to tip your cap to him, he made the biggest shot of the night.
came complacent difference fourth good key move moving quarter resulted shots third
In the third quarter, everything was smooth. We were moving the basketball. We got good shots and we came out of the quarter up by six. Then in the fourth quarter, we got complacent and wouldn't move the basketball, and that resulted in some key turnovers that they capitalized on. That was the difference in the game.
came matched stop
You can't stop everybody. But we matched him and, more important, we came out with the win.
bench came energy tremendous
Their bench was tremendous tonight. They had more energy when they came in. You've got to give them a lot of credit.
add build continue people scary
The scary part is he's going to get better, I think. We've got to continue to build and add more people around him.
continue happens limit nice team
The sky's the limit for him because he's untapped. He has a lot to say about what happens on this team and it's nice to see him get a triple-double. I think that's something he can continue to do.
billy bringing figure manager maybe monday next sit week
Salim will be back on Monday and we'll sit down next week and maybe think about bringing someone in, but I don't know who that's going to be. I'll sit down with Billy (general manager Billy Knight) and figure out what to do next.
needed san turned worst
Sometimes it's like we are our own worst enemy. We have stretches where we don't shoot. We don't defend. When San Antonio turned up their defense, we needed to turn up ours.
fun sitting tv watching
This thing of sitting here watching it on TV is not fun for me.
challenge chance coach fourth games high league meet ourselves playing quarters question team third wants
There's no question every team in the league wants to be like the Pistons. They are playing at an all-time high and they're playing for a purpose. We didn't meet the challenge in the second, third and fourth quarters and that kind of disappointed me. I don't like to coach games like this where we don't give ourselves a chance to win.
