early gonna
It's still too early to say what we're gonna look like and what we're gonna to do.
emotional imagine paying tough
I think it was pretty emotional for him. He's a pretty emotional cat. I was just paying my respects. I can imagine it's tough for him right now, but hey, I have to concentrate on this team.
four good monumental
If it happens, it happens. It's monumental that four from one organization are here. That's good for the organization. If he does put all four of us out there together, it'll be cool.
consistent drop few good high knowing level loss losses lost
Sometimes we drop to the level of our opponents. We had that loss to Atlanta, knowing good and well we shouldn't have lost to them. Same with a few other losses this year. I tell you, if we play on our consistent high level, we'll be fine.
five ourselves people starting
Some people say our starting five is like an all-star team. But we don't see ourselves like that. We see ourselves as a unit.
surprise
That doesn't surprise us at all. We're still the same Pistons and we still go out and play that same Pistons D. That wasn't going to change.
bench cool flip problem starting
I didn't know what was going on. Flip said I wasn't starting and I was cool with it. I've come off the bench before in my career, so it wasn't a problem for me.
couple hit knew shots veteran
It's just veteran play. We knew what we had to do get a couple of shots, hit some big shots and do the things we've been doing all season.
hardware
We have an agenda. We want the hardware back.
damage fingers fist five four ourselves spread together
We don't see ourselves as four All-Stars. We see ourselves as one unit. It's like five fingers on a hand. You can do more damage together as a fist than spread out flat.
knew slow win
We knew if we wanted to win the game, we had to slow them down a little bit.
diving game hard hustle knew took win
We knew if we were going to win this game we were going to have to go out there and play hard and make those diving plays, those hustle plays. And that's what we did to get back into the game and took it from there.
chip last regular season stuff summer wait waiting
We started the season with that chip from last year. We had to wait all summer and then wait through this long regular season. All of that other stuff was just in the way. This, the playoffs, is what we've been waiting for.
couple ourselves stops turn
We told ourselves to turn it up and get a couple of stops to take over the game.
