We had no execution in the fourth and that really hurt us. That's a championship team, and they played like it.
game quarter rushed score slow
I rushed it a little bit, the first quarter I did. I have to slow it down, let the game come to me. I know I have to score for this team; that's my job.
count guy help played presence together type
We played together two years ago. He's going to be a type of guy we're going to count on to be a presence down low. He can score, he can rebound, and he will help us out a lot.

We came into practice (Tuesday) very encouraged about the win. We didn't even talk about how we finished the game. We stayed positive.

ahead best definitely doubt nba nobody prepared since task team tough
It discourages me because nobody has done it since then. We definitely have a tough task ahead of us. No doubt about that. Detroit, in my opinion, is the best team in the NBA going into the playoffs. So we have to be prepared on all cylinders. All cylinders.
Just keep shooting. That's what I do - keep shooting.
guys humble impressed practice runs stay terry unselfish win
I'm so impressed with how Terry runs practice and how the guys are responding. We just have to stay quiet, stay humble and win games. Just go play. We have a very unselfish team.
bit playoffs sick thinking totally
I'm sick to my stomach. That's all I can say now. I'm not a bit happy. I know we're in the playoffs but I want more than that, man. I shouldn't be thinking like this, but I'm totally frustrated, totally frustrated.
coming teams
We need to put teams away when we have the chance, and that was the mind-set coming out of the half.
