chris eventually guard minutes numbers played plays point therefore totally
You can't compare. Because Chris is a point guard and Marvin is a 3, sometimes he plays 4. They're totally different games. Chris has played a lot more minutes than Marvin has played, so therefore his numbers are a lot better than what Marvin's are. Eventually Marvin's numbers will go the other way.
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.
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.
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.
game guys necessary plays stepped win
Our young guys stepped up and made plays when the game got tight. We were able to step up and do the things necessary to win the game.
figure plays
We just have to figure out how to make plays at the end.
figure growing handling looks nice player plays shot starting trying
He's starting to figure it out. It's nice to see. His shot looks like a shot right now, and he's making it. He's handling the ball, making plays and he's trying to defend. It's all a part of growing up and being a better player in this league.
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.
