After Chauncey missed that shot at the end of the first overtime, I knew we had to get it back to him again because I knew he'd make up for it. |
Anything could help right now, especially the way we've been playing. |
Anything that's more creative is going to be more fun. |
Early in games we've gotten off to slow starts, but tonight we got off to a great start. In the second quarter we kind of got lazy a little bit and they capitalized on it. But the fourth quarter has been our quarter early in the season in terms of hitting our shots and executing our plays, and that's something that we did tonight. |
Even though we were making shots, we were still playing their style of basketball. In the second half, we just kept playing that way and it backfired. |
Every time our execution failed, we responded with our defense. |
Everyone knows that when San Antonio and Detroit play, it's going to be a battle on the defensive end. The thing that we wanted to do is really concentrate on rebounding and not let them get second-chance opportunities. |

Everyone thinks we're playing this great because we want to show we can play without Larry. We're playing like this because we know how it felt to lose the championship, and we want to win it again. |
He fits with us defensively and he plays great defense. He has long arms. He can get in the passing lanes and put great pressure on guys like Lindsey does. And he can shoot the ball very well. That's just added depth at that position -- something that we need. |
I already gave up a couple of years to college. |
I am going to talk to him before the All-Star break, but right now, I don't think I am going. |
I can't tell what happened because it happened so fast. He might have stepped on my foot. You hate to see any player get hurt at this point in the season with the playoffs coming up. I hope it's nothing serious. |
I didn't know until someone just told me. I guess that shows you where our minds are right now. |
I don't know what's going on right now with the Pistons. |
