Here’s Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris on the team’s first two games (lost 115-109 at home vs. the Indiana Pacers/lost 113-101 on the road vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers).

“I knew coming in that this was a situation that was going to take time to come to fruition. For us as a group and me personally, is really about taking my time with it, staying patient, and allowing the guys that we have here to really flourish and figure out how they can get going and make the game easier for everyone else. And so, obviously with how we’ve been running things is kinda just take what’s available, make the right play, continue to make the extra pass, continue to make the winning basketball play on the floor. I know my contributions essentially to this group on the offensive end will come in the flow and the better pace we have as a team, the more sharp we are offensively and how we’re doing things, how we’re taking care of the basketball, how we’re making those extra passes, making those extra reads, and moving our bodies and moving the basketball.
“That will allow my game to flourish, so I knew coming in that this will take time and it’s a process to be figured out for us as a group. Continue to communicate, watch film, find ways we can get better, but the name of the game is to figure out ways to close out games for wins. I felt like with all that being said, it’s two games and there’s a lot of positives to take away from it and there are things that me personally as well will have to watch film and get better at as well and find different ways to be more impactful for our group as well. So, I look at all those things.”
