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.
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.
guys hat matter playing sign team though tip uniform
No matter who we play or who is in uniform for us, they have competed. I tip my hat to my guys because they never quit. That's the sign of a team that is still hungry, even though we're not playing for anything.
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.
job nice playing team win
They got the job done, and that's the nice thing about our team now. They're playing, they get down, and they don't think they're down. They're playing to win and that's what it's all about.
coach defend defensive forgotten month playing trying
I think we've kind of forgotten who we were, but we were at least trying to defend a month ago. I'm a defensive coach and we are not playing defensive minded.
great playing plays
He's been playing unbelievably. He's made plays where at first I am saying, 'No, no, no,' then it's a great play.
finally finish locker offensive playing room solid team time
Our locker room is very excited. I think any time you play this team (Boston), they're well-coached. They've got a lot of offensive weapons. For us to come in and play a solid game, and finally finish a game, (is satisfying) because we've been playing pretty well as of late.
catch playing tough
Once they got the lead, we were playing catch up. It was tough for us to get back in it.
beat defensive playing points
I'm a defensive coach, and we're not playing defensive-minded. You can't give up 118 points and beat anybody.
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.
