On Rasheed Wallace - “When’s he’s mad, there is nobody in this world that can stop him.”
Somebody please slap the man before every game. Then do the same during half time for good measure.
Video here.
Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich
On the game - “I thought tonight we played very poorly, very unwisely. We need to have more people play well. We have too many people playing poorly at this point. The most disturbing thing is that we were very soft. I think Detroit intimidated us. I think they ran us all over the court, with their aggressiveness and physicality. It was really sad to watch in that respect. I thought we totally folded to their aggressive play, thus the loss.”
Roger Mason
On the game - I don’t think it was just the fourth quarter. All game I think they just had more aggressiveness than we did and it showed. They got the loose balls. They got the extra rebound. They got the extra play. That’s something that we can control. You can’t always hit the shots, but you gotta be able to control [the aggression].””
Was this the most disappointing performance by the team since you’ve been here? - "Yeah, I think so. This was a disappointing game because I think we just didn’t have the effort…we didn’t have the juice, the intensity that we needed to compete at an NBA level.”
On Pop’s comments about the team being “soft” tonight - "I think they were the aggressor. I don’t think we played aggressive enough for sure as a team. You can’t come out like that and think that you can compete.”
Tony Parker
On the game - "I think they just out-performed up. We just didn’t play well. They out-played us…shot the ball better, played more physical than us, and we just didn’t play well tonight.”
Is this the most disappointed you’ve been all season? - “Definitely. This has got to be one of our worst games of the season. We just didn’t perform well. We can’t afford to do that against a very good team like Detroit. They played well. Everybody was aggressive and they played very physical. They out-played us at both ends of the court. They just played better than us.”
Pistons Head Coach Michael Curry
On the game - “I thought we responded well to how we had been playing in our last few ballgames. Both offensively and defensively we didn’t try to figure things out. We just played harder than the other team. If we do that consistently, then our timing, getting on the same page, all those types of things, will take care of themselves. All those things work out when you do that.”
On defending Manu Ginobili - “I thought we stepped up to that challenge. Offensively Ginobili is tough to guard and we played him tough and gave ourselves a chance to win. Some guys came off the bench for us and they played well and then we got a group out there at the end that held it down and finished it off.”
On Rodney Stuckey - He’s been doing such a good job lately. We run a lot of pick and roll through him and he’s settling into that role. And the longer he’s in, the better he’s getting. At the end of the day, we’re going to need him to be the team that we want to be.”
Allen Iverson
On the game - “We felt we did some good things in the first half but we just buckled down and did those things even better in the second half. We just executed our game plan better. We wanted to play more aggressively. In the second half we did that. We hit them first on the defensive end and that transferred down to the offensive end.”
On Rasheed Wallace - “He’s always fired up but after the tech he really took matters into his own hands and that off with huge dividends for us.”
Richard Hamilton
On the game - “We just have to trust each other more and tonight’s game is a great example of that. You saw tonight that late in games we don’t have to push it. We can just bare-down and find the mismatches. When we do that, look for the mis-matches and exploit them, we’re tough to guard.”

I see Pop playing the soft card very early this season... And we played soft against the Rockets too. He had quite a few days and some practices to right the ship but obviously his point didn't get across. We'll see what happens thursday against Denver. It's going to be a tough game to try to rebound but if we want to stay in the thick of things in the West, we have to make a statement.
I hope he plays the "bench the starters" card again......
Worked well the last time he did it.
"He didn't say anything after the game." Boy, he really knows how to coach 'em up!
"On Rasheed Wallace - “When’s he’s mad, there is nobody in this world that can stop him.”"
Weird. He seems to get mad a lot, and yet... his numbers are very mediocre.
How Rasheed's quote referring to the Spurs as "league sweethearts" didn't make the cut I'll never know.
I always thought we should hire a heckler to say some really bad things to him at home.

Wallace suggested the referees were feeding the Spurs some “home cooking” with their call of the game.
“I knew how it was going to be,” he said. “I didn’t want our team to fall into that. We know how the game is going to go against the darlings of the league.”
Yeah, but it wasn't when I posted up.
Sheed is always a bitter son of a . Being a playoff victim of Robert Horry and the spurs did that to him. Hey sheed, you had a great game tonight but your declining and you will be having even less games like this as you continue to age you piece of .
Why did Vaughn play? I was hoping Hill would completely take over the backup point spot; he'll need all the experience he can get for the playoff run.
