What does it mean at this point? I don't think you put too much stock in it.

I'd really like him to see the 'Detroit' on the front of our jerseys a lot. That would mean we're on him.

There are no unknowns at this point. But from their standpoint, the X-factor is that they are a team that takes as many three-pointers as anybody. If they get hot like they can, they can cause you a lot of problems. But, one of our strengths all year was defending the three. Hope that continues.

I've been here for five months, and this team still amazes me with its poise.

When we play as a whole, how we're supposed to play, we're very efficient, and everyone plays extremely well.

This doesn't change anything (in the East). Look at the Minnesota Vikings. Controversy sometimes can bring a team closer together.
