crowd figured happening looking sure
I figured something was happening because the crowd was looking at the screen. But I wasn't sure what it was.
everybody line reason team whatever
It's unexplainable. Go up and down a line of this team and everybody would say the same thing. For whatever reason as a group, we weren't ready.
care definitely game good home winning
We've just got to take care of home court, a place we haven't been very good this year. If we can go into the All-Star Game with a three-game winning streak, it definitely would help.
couple game guys step stops tonight
We made a couple of big plays. We had a couple of stops and that's what we need to do. We need to have guys step up when it really counts, when the game is on the line, and make plays, Tonight we did that.
coming describe everybody game knows ready
We weren't ready. I don't know how to describe it. It's unfortunate. Everybody coming in knows how big a game this is, so to not be ready is unacceptable.
chance heads issue played playing push reason run stops whatever
We were able to get some stops and get out and run and for whatever reason we just started playing. I don't know if we were playing not to be embarrassed, but something went off in our heads and we played with no fear. I just wanted to get out and run to push the issue because really, that's the only way we had a chance to get back in the game.
advantage chances forever looking outside position seems
We've been in this position it seems like forever now. We're on the outside looking in. We've had our chances and just haven't been able to take advantage of it.
beat bunch continue detroit felt game key pay playing rebounds second team turned win won
We kind of beat ourselves. We didn't get key rebounds and we turned it over a bunch of times in the second half. A team like Detroit makes you pay for that. I think we're all disappointed. We wanted to win this game and felt like we should have won it. We just have to continue to play this way and hopefully, be playing in the postseason.
handled stretch
We had a stretch there where we got it close, and there were big-time possessions where we could have handled it a little better.
dominant foul players
To get Shaq in foul trouble, it's big. He's one of the most dominant players to ever play.
competing fighting group harder start together
We have to be able to make adjustments during the game. When things aren't going as well as we would like them to, we (need) to come together as a group and start competing harder ? that's when you should start fighting harder.
ahead anybody indiana overlook ready tuesday
We've got Indiana (on Tuesday night) next. We have to get ready for them ? that's it. We can't overlook anybody because we know Philadelphia is right ahead of us.
month start
We know how big this month is for us. This just isn't the way to start it off.
knew madison square
We know we had Madison Square Gordon, so we knew we were in the driver's seat.
