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.
games
We were in games like this all year. We never quit.
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.
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.
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.
games
(This game) kind of typified our season. We've been in games like this all year.
body fit games good nba next practice week
Lang has an NBA body. We'll get a good week of practice in next week with just two games and then we can see where he can fit in.
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.
