detroit five great players starting vote
Detroit has great players. I never thought there would ever be a day that I would vote for a whole starting five to be on the all-star team, and I did. They have great players and a great team.
players
I'd like to think the players are better. Yeah.
degree guys league players seen stand
Some guys play hard, some guys play harder. He's a hard-playing guy. I have never seen him do anything that was out of hand, over the top. In a league where a lot of players feel a degree of entitlement, a guy like him that doesn't feel that can stand out.
field foul goals hard juggle players stop time trouble win
Most games, when you have more field goals than your opponent, you win in our league. For us, most times, we haven't won. We just juggle players because of foul trouble too much, and we've had a hard time to stop it.
beginning good league meetings players talk union
It's not only that we talk to them. The league does a good job, and the players association, of going through all that at the beginning of the year. The players have union meetings where that's discussed.
certainly elevate great guys players teams time year
This is the time of year when the great players and the great teams elevate their play. We need all of our guys to elevate their play. He's certainly an important part of that.
ball clearly fantastic maybe players shape shot top year
(Brand) is clearly one of the top 10 players in the league, maybe the top five. I read early on that he said he is in much better shape this year and that has helped. He has shot the ball well from the perimeter. He is just having a fantastic season.
ben good moment players starts sudden throwing unique
Ben is one of the most unique players I've seen. It is uncanny how one moment he is out there and not having a good game, then all of a sudden he just starts throwing in shots.
few hurt nice played players plays seem though
Even though he was hurt ? he played some, didn't play some ? it was nice to have him around every day. There are few players who seem to see the plays before they actually happen, and he was one of them.
phenomenal shoot
He was on. When he's on like that, he can shoot over people. His threes were dialed in. It was a phenomenal display.
fought game guys happy moral played until
I'm happy we played hard, but that should be a given. Our guys fought right until the end, but at this level, there are no moral victories. It's a game we should have won.
bizarre crazy happens maybe
I think that, if maybe something so bizarre ever happens one time, (the NBA) will take a look at (the seeding system). That's probably what it's going to take. Some crazy thing.
kirk team
I've said it many times, Kirk does so many things for our team that his shot-making is down the list.
burned experience free tried whenever
It's possible. I have the unfortunate experience of . . . whenever I have tried it, he has burned us. He has made (the free throws).
