Boston Celtics

Flip’s take

Detroit coach Flip Saunders had a diagnosis for his team’s struggles tonight against the Celtics.

“Part of the problem I have is that when things start going south, our guys don’t think they can do it better themselves,” said Saunders. “We don’t have those type of players. Our players are geared towards somebody else making a play for somebody. That’s how this team has been built. It hasn’t been built on the superstar carrying us down the stretch. We have to continue to keep on pounding away and know what our strength is and keep on playing to our strength.”
