Both of these guys we're bringing in have NBA experience, |
Considering the circumstances, I was happy with our competitive spirit out there. We had a lot of guys that played hard. |
Danny had a great night. We're a different team when he plays the way he did tonight. We need him to continue to play at that level. |
Danny is fortunate he's had the chance to really get some extended time, a chance to be a starter, to come off the bench, and he's learned a lot of what it's about. It's about developing a routine, not just relative to basketball, but relative to day-to-day life. Like keeping things organized and (perfecting) that. If you can do that and have some consistency with it, you can be successful. |
David is really sorry about this. It's just something we have to keep working at. |
Defensively, they just got by us too much and got into the paint too much throughout the course of the game. That was another big part of the whole story. |
Detroit is very motivated for a lot of reasons. They're fighting for the best record in the league. They dropped a game to us, which will make them more motivated to win. We have to play our game and play it well. |
Detroit played great. They really hurt us on the boards. We didn't play a good game and they had a lot to do with it. |
Down the stretch, the free-throw line was our nemesis. If we can get a couple of stops and make our free throws, it really shouldn't have come down to an overtime. But if you don't play a full 48 minutes, you leave too much to chance. |
During this 15-game period, we had competed hard on a consistent basis. And tonight, we had a let down from that. We just didn't have it. Every time we would make a run, we'd make a defensive mistake and they'd get a three. |
Early, you could tell he was getting his feet under him. As the game went on, you could see the things he has the ability to do offensively and defensively. He's going to be a very good defensive player. |
Every point counts right now. I know David regrets what happened. We have to channel our emotional energy into emotional strength. That's got to be one our goals as we head down the stretch. |
Every team goes through their fair share of problems. We're just going to have to play through this. |
Every win is important when playoff position is at stake. We've had a string of road losses that's been really tough on us so getting back on track was important. |
Every win is important. Playoff position is at stake and we just had a string of road losses that were tough on us so getting on track was important, and we're starting to get a little confidence in our overall situation as well. |
