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.
games needed played win
We haven't had many games like that where we weren't in the game. Give them credit, they needed the win and they played like it.
credit fighting games
We haven't had games like this where we're not even in the game. Give Philadelphia credit because they're fighting for something (playoffs). That's where I want to be with this team.
complaints complaints-and-complaining game hard played playing
I don't have any complaints with our crew. They are playing hard and we have been in every game we've played this year.
games
We were in games like this all year. We never quit.
game second trim
We had 22 turnovers in our first game and 17 in our second and we have to trim that back to 15 or 13,
both games goes mind played playoff
It's playoff time. I don't mind games like that, if it goes both ways. We played hard, we battled and you got to like games like that.
beat games great hopefully last sign team
It's great for us to come in here and beat a team like this. These last two games we haven't cracked, and hopefully that's a sign of maturity.
beat game
They beat us every way you can beat a team. I don't know if that was because of the back to back, but we haven't had a game like this in a long time.
close games plays refused
We have had a lot of close games that we just didn't make plays down the stretch, but we refused to lose tonight.
against close couple far free games gone good hat kids road tip tonight
We have had a couple good road wins, but this is by far the best. Our young kids did it tonight and you need to tip your hat to them. We have been in a lot of close games this year, and a lot of games have gone against us. Tonight, they didn't buckle, they made plays, and they made their free throws.
game hard played playing
They (the Hawks) are playing hard and we've been in every game we've played this year.
across chance couple effort fun games guys josh missed needed playing plays smith stepped team
The young guys stepped up. Josh Smith made two big shots. He missed a couple and then he stepped up and made the big plays when we needed them. It was a team effort all the way across the board. It's fun playing games like this when you have a chance to win.
