ball extremely game good job needed played rookie
He played extremely well. He didn't play like a rookie tonight. He made shots, he got the ball where it needed to go. He did a good job defensively. It was a well-rounded game for him.

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.
cutting games happens lead setting sharing
We got complacent. That's what happens in games like this. We did everything to get the lead right away by sharing the ball, cutting and setting screens. But when they stiffened up their defense, we just settled.
came pleased
I was pretty pleased with our effort. We came in and competed.
finish free line reputation team throw
We can't get a reputation for being a team that can't get to the free throw line and can't finish games.
believe guys locker played room team west
We played every West team pretty good. It's not like we can't compete, but those guys in the locker room had to believe they can win.
