I was less concerned by the way we shot the ball 36.6 percent and more concerned about how timid we were on defense. Bobby Simmons is a good player, but we gave him so many open looks all over the place. We just weren't there.
More Quotes from Scott Skiles:
I can only speak about Monday's game, and I didn't think there was anything outrageous going on out there. We fouled too much. Maybe two calls on Carmelo were debatable, but the rest of them I thought he earned his right to get to the line.Scott Skiles
Mike will get another chance now. He just needs to play better the minutes he's got he hasn't taken advantage of. It would be nice for him -- and it would be nice for us -- if he could perform at a high level.

I didn't think either team was especially sharp tonight, to put it mildly. It was anybody's game for the taking. They turned it up a little bit and we weren't able to make any big plays to stay with them, we could have at any moment exerted ourselves we could have come back, we just couldn't do it.

I wasn't really concerned about other teams. I was thinking about my own team. I've learned not to sell them short. I've learned when we're down 17 last night to Indiana before rallying to win the game is not over. They battle, and they like to play. We know we have some shortcomings but they try to stay organized, they move the ball, they try to play together, and when you do that, success is going to follow at some point it's just a matter of time.

Detroit has its own agenda, which is to rest its guys, and Washington has the motivation, which is understandable. So is the Orlando-Indiana game. That's part of it. That's why you play all 82 (games).

It's no secret that the last couple of years we were trying to rebuild and redo our team, and there's a lot of teams that try to do that and can't get in the playoffs. For our guys to get in is a tribute to the way they have been resilient and stayed with it.
