That was Detroit basketball. The more we played against them, the more we understood their sets and we were able to contest their shots. If we play lock-down defense like we did tonight, we can play with these guys.

That was one of those that sometimes how you start is how you finish. We started bad, we didn't have enough confidence, we let them get into a rhythm and it seems like we were fighting for the next 58 minutes trying to catch up.

That was the best pass I've seen in the last minute of a close game.
|
That was too good a look. But Maurice did a nice job closing out on him.

That wasn't our night. Just physically a step slow, and mentally we just didn't react as quickly as we normally do. Just not as sharp.

That's a decision that every day as a team they have to make. Fortunately for us, those two guys are pretty good decision makers, and depending on what they give us, is what we'll usually take.

That's a staple of our team. What you do in pressure situations is you always go back to doing what you do best.

That's especially true for them at home. They are improving. They play with a lot of energy in this building.

That's even more unbelievable than not missing any games. Part of that is the (players') makeup and how they take care of themselves. And part of it is our medical people and the job they do. It's a total approach.

That's phenomenal. That's why they ended up the way they were. I think their approach is a very similar approach that we've kind of taken, just take one game at a time and see what happens.

That's the only negative ? the guys play so well sometimes it becomes too easy. But it's what I said before ? an obligation of entertaining, knowing that when you go into an arena, for some people that might be the only time they watch you play. As a professional you have an obligation to play at a high level ? it's almost like a rock band going on the road.

That's the same call, Bob.
|
That's what pro sports is about.
|
That's why the fans get to vote for five [players] and the coaches get to vote for seven.

The bench has been great. And that creates that vicious cycle. When the bench is playing well, they play more minutes and the starters get more rest.
