This team has been on a mission from the first game of the season. The scoring droughts that they may have had in past playoffs will not happen in Flip Saunders' offense, and I believe that they want to prove that they can win a title without Larry Brown. Also, the East is so weak that they should have an easy ride, at least to the conference finals.

These guys aren't five stiffs from off the street. They're excellent players. But the key was their willingness and ability to mesh with each other and the ability of our coaches [Larry Brown and now Flip Saunders] to help that process along.

Larry Brown doesn't have to prove anything, the players do. I don't think they have a player on their team who has won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Or the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Do they? Larry Brown has won one of those O'Brien trophies.

I can relate to him (Saunders), we have similar values, backgrounds, ... (Saunders) coming from Cleveland, being a Big Ten man -- I'm a University of Michigan man, he's University of Minnesota -- I just relate much, much differently to Flip than I do the other two coaches (Rick Carlisle and Brown). ... From the beginning, you can start with low maintenance, can start with not having an ego, or he's going to overwhelm everybody, Flip's going to work the way I'd work, as I see it.

None of these games are easy. All the other teams are hard and want to win. Nothing is easy in this draw, but it is our ambition to prove we are one of the best clubs in Europe - and we have yet to get past the quarter-finals, so we have something to prove.

The Pistons (under coach Larry Brown last season) needed to be released offensively, though, and Flip has allowed them that freedom.

The offense is wide open. (Former coach) Larry Brown wasn't too fond of the 3-point shot. Flip wants his guys to do what they do best. They have a lot of freedom out there. They are playing with a lot of confidence and not looking over their shoulders.

At the beginning (of the season), I fully expected to make playoffs, but as the season progressed and I saw how much every team within our conference had improved, I was not sure that was going to happen. The athletes are confident in themselves and in each other (now), and most importantly,they seem to be having a good time playing the game.

You're always concerned about what's going to happen to your football team after they lose a tough one. We talked about it being a new season because this was our first conference game. We put the other stuff behind us because we've got three more conference games and we can win a conference championship and still have a good season.

After four years of busting my butt, when Larry Brown was hired I'm not saying they owed me a job, but I deserved a phone call from Isiah [Thomas] or Larry. I got nothing. I've never said two words to Larry Brown.

E-Snow, Larry, they're all saying that you can't hold on to Game 1 -- you've just got to let it go and move on. Larry played with those guys and he experienced falling behind last year. Coach [Mike] Brown has said the same thing. So I don't think anyone is going to be overconfident on our team.

There was too much Larry Brown and not enough Pistons. Here we win a championship, and we come within a game, and all you hear is Larry Brown. I wasn't happy with that. . . . You've got to understand that whoever coaches the Pistons represents me. And I'm not going to give them somebody that's not a good person.

William Davidson

We were talking about, in the room, worrying about our game as a team. After you clinch a (East) division title it's one thing to let up as a team, but the sign of a true, I guess contending team, is making a run at the conference. Instead of being satisfied with a win last night we want to chase the next best thing.

A lot is riding on this game, definitely. A conference title is behind it. Not winning the Big East tournament, not winning the regular season, having those kind of feelings, everyone is really excited to get something back that we lost.

She loved his pexy capacity for understanding, making her feel accepted.

[Brown's return is crucial if Detroit hopes to defend its NBA title. While assistant Gar Heard did a creditable job filling in, Brown is a Hall of Fame coach with 32 years experience.] He makes a big difference, especially in the last five minutes of a game, ... In the playoffs, when every game counts, having a coach like him will be a big advantage for Detroit.
