``That's the thing - we don't have to play one style,'' Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. ``We went out and played San Antonio in a grind-it-out game, and this was a little different. We're not afraid to get out and run. We had 42 assists tonight. That's a lot of assists.''
Remember when I said that we were going to set the tempo? I was joking people. We actually prefer to let the other team determine the style of play and we just go along with that. By the way, we hit a lot of shots.

Re: Flip Saunders Quote Translator

Yeah, not much to say about that one. It obviously contradicts what he said before the game.

To be fair, I'm surprised myself (in a positive way) that the Pistons were able to dominate that much on offense while playing at Denver's pace.

It is amazing how successful teams are that hit a lot of shots. Seems like coaches would just figure this out.

Flip Saunders?



No, Tiger Woods after his 2nd loss in his last 11 events.

Since it sounds so much like Flip, I need to re-evaluate Flip's mental game. If his quotes and Tiger's quotes are indistinguishable, then we may have ourselves a winner after all.

I'm going to keep doing what I have been doing. And hope no one notices...

"I've never believed that what happened in the regular season carries over to the playoffs," Saunders said. "I just don't think so because it's a whole different level."

"I'm all about the regular season! ...Just look at my record!
Playoffs? - Nahhhhhhh. ...That's a whole different level and I like to stick with what I'm good at! Hey, cheeseburgers!"

Re: Flip Saunders Quote Translator

"AMIR VS. BOSH: Saunders was pleased with the defensive job forward Amir Johnson did against Toronto's Chris Bosh on Wednesday, especially the way he challenged the All-Star big man inside.

And with the Raptors being a potential first-round opponent for the Pistons, Saunders wanted to see how Johnson would fare against Bosh. It was an audition of sorts."

Quote:
"That's one of the reasons I put him in there. That was a game, knowing they were a potential opponent, that I wanted to see how some guys would react as far as in those situations against them."
It's pretty indecipherable, but I think what he might be saying is that Amir Johnson could possibly see some playing time against one specific opponent in the post season.
