adequate allen caught contain defense fourth game hope solid stop third
I thought we just defended. You're not going to stop Allen Iverson. Webber had a big game as well. All you can do is try to contain them and hope for the best. I thought we did an adequate job. I thought our defense was solid in the third and fourth (quarter). Once we caught up, it was back and forth.
complaints complaints-and-complaining game hard played playing
I don't have any complaints with our crew. They are playing hard and we have been in every game we've played this year.
body fit games good nba next practice week
Lang has an NBA body. We'll get a good week of practice in next week with just two games and then we can see where he can fit in.
beat games great hopefully last sign team
It's great for us to come in here and beat a team like this. These last two games we haven't cracked, and hopefully that's a sign of maturity.
challenge chance coach fourth games high league meet ourselves playing quarters question team third wants
There's no question every team in the league wants to be like the Pistons. They are playing at an all-time high and they're playing for a purpose. We didn't meet the challenge in the second, third and fourth quarters and that kind of disappointed me. I don't like to coach games like this where we don't give ourselves a chance to win.
game hard played playing
They (the Hawks) are playing hard and we've been in every game we've played this year.

Our young guys stepped up and made plays when the game got tight. We were able to step up and do the things necessary to win the game.
games
(This game) kind of typified our season. We've been in games like this all year.
across chance couple effort fun games guys josh missed needed playing plays smith stepped team
The young guys stepped up. Josh Smith made two big shots. He missed a couple and then he stepped up and made the big plays when we needed them. It was a team effort all the way across the board. It's fun playing games like this when you have a chance to win.
dealing funny
That's the funny thing when you're dealing with young guys, 19-year-olds,
busting fun guys locker
It's all about those guys in the locker room. They've been busting their butts. It's fun winning.
few key
I thought there were a few key plays. We just have so much to overcome.
fourth move quarter stagnant
The fourth quarter we went flat. We just didn't execute, we didn't move the ball, we got very stagnant and we were able to be guarded.

Salim will be back on Monday and we'll sit down next week and maybe think about bringing someone in, but I don't know who that's going to be. I'll sit down with Billy (general manager Billy Knight) and figure out what to do next.
