Pistons coach John Kuester and forward Charlie Villanueva had a long discussion on Wednesday after he expressed frustration over playing just 12 minutes on Tuesday.

Detroit lost to New York at home on Tuesday night.

"I've been struggling the past couple of games," Villanueva said. "We talked about it and I made some defensive, you know, I missed assignments. And he took me out because of that. I understand it, but you move on. You move on and worry about the next game."

Villanueva has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot lately.

"I feel good about the situation," he said. "We just going through some rough times right now. It's tough because everybody wants to win. Nobody wants to feel like this. We gonna get it right, though. We definitely going to get it right."
