Coach congrats on a great win last night, 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: sixty seven fifty seven over Baylor and one heck of 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: a performance by Boba Miller eighteen points, seventeen rebounds, three assists, 21 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: a steal, a block shot. As you pointed out after 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: the game, the stat that perhaps impressed you the most 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: was the fact that he was able to log thirty 24 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: seven minutes on a night where a couple of guys 25 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: were missing due to injury and illness. 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought he was terrific. Dan. 27 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 4: Again, the extended minutes and the way that we're trying 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 4: to play defense and the things that we're asking our 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 4: guys to do on the offensive, rebound specifically, and then 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 4: back in transition. You know, it takes energy and effort 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 4: to play the way we play, so to get to 32 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 4: those kind of numbers of minutes and still be productive 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 4: in your minutes, that's what I was most impressed with. 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: And he's he's continuing to improve and affect the game 35 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 4: in different ways, but most impressed that he was able 36 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 4: to sustain it for those extended minutes. 37 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 5: Extended minutes across the board for your starting five, only 38 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 5: Jaln Celestine played nearly under thirty minutes, twenty nine minutes, 39 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 5: forty three seconds, and it seemed like they got with 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 5: that lineup and you've been shuffling lineups back and forth 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 5: due to injury, but it seems like they found a 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 5: groove and you knew what to work with because the 43 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 5: other guys that were getting in they had minutes, but 44 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 5: they didn't get the minutes that the starters got. But 45 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 5: the starters got the minutes to like figure things out 46 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 5: on the floor. 47 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought, you know, like Keishan Tillery, I thought 48 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 4: had a really nice rotation. Did He was good when 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: he first came in and then you know, maybe wasn't 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 4: as good there with the four turnovers and then had 51 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 4: some defensive airs there in the second half. So we 52 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 4: didn't extend him in the second half, which I think 53 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 4: he's moving to a place where we're going to be 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: able to do that. 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 3: He's been playing more. 56 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: Consistently, but maybe that's why his minutes were a little 57 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 4: bit lower. I thought Jordie Rodriguez gave us some really 58 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: good minutes in the first half. 59 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: Haven't none stopper? 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, he actually, you know, defensive grades had one of 61 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 4: our best ratios and we called out those grades today. 62 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 4: So it's good to see him because he had that 63 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 4: concussion and hasn't been able to kind of get that 64 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 4: opportunity again. So given the opportunity, he did some good things, 65 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 4: you know, and then Tyler wasn't able to give it 66 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 4: a go in the second half. He would have had 67 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 4: extended minnetts and then we gave Alvin a very short burst. 68 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 4: So I think some of it is the injury in 69 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 4: the illness, some of it in the second half, we 70 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 4: kind of found some combinations that are a combination that 71 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 4: we thought was very effective and we stayed with that 72 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 4: to try to close the game out. 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: So the Crack social media staff posted something today that 74 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: was really cool to see. It was you prior to 75 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: the game up on the whiteboard diagramming what you wanted 76 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 2: to do on the opening tip, what you executed to perfection. 77 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: Gustafa tips it ahead to dayd A Thomas, he throws 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: an alley oop to Bob A. Miller, he dunks it 79 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: in to begin the game. I've got to give tell 80 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: credit as well, because as the two guys lined up 81 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: for the opening tap from Stoppa John for Cincinnati Cameron 82 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 2: Carr for Baylor, who's only six' five tell more or less, 83 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: said remember earlier in the game this, year they tipped 84 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: a head and got a slam. 85 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: Dunk it Was. 86 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: George, yeah So tell called it and then we saw 87 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: that that they executed what you diagrammed to perfection to 88 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: begin the. 89 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 4: Game it's, Funny i'm not on social, media SO i 90 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 4: didn't know. THAT i don't know IF i okayed them 91 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: putting that out. There you, know, yeah we'll never better 92 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 4: run that. Again but, NO i think that the tip 93 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 4: is is a, possession and so you, know you're always you, 94 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: know in, coaching you're trying to figure out every way 95 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: you can to win one more. Possession so we always 96 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: want to win that the, tip and we we do 97 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 4: talk about the tip before every single game in the locker. 98 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 4: Room it's the last thing we talk about before we 99 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 4: take the, floor and then we review it in that 100 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 4: that final time out or that final huddle before the 101 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 4: jump ball goes. Up but it's not always some spicy 102 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 4: play like an alley, oop but we do want to 103 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 4: make sure that we secure the. Ball then you look 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: at what the other team does in their, tendencies and 105 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 4: sometimes you can see that there's an opportunity to maybe 106 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 4: get a fast. Break, yeah like you, said we did 107 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 4: that in The georgia game earlier and had the exact 108 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 4: same tip action and the exact same, Dunk so it 109 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 4: was nice to see the guys execute. It they don't 110 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: always execute what you draw up on the, board that's for. 111 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: SURE i only Remember mustafa losing one tip this, year 112 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: do you know if that's, right. 113 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: It's got to be. Close it's either one or. 114 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: YEAH i can't think of, two but We it's, funny you, 115 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 4: Know boba's such a quick jumper that we we started 116 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 4: the year Letting baba jump because we thought he was 117 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 4: a quicker, jumper And mustafa took offense to, it WHICH 118 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 4: i thought was was kind of. Great it was, great 119 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 4: like there's you, know there's a couple of things that 120 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: are good reboundings you can be competitive, with or who's 121 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: the better tip. Catspot so he didn't like. It and 122 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: then When baba went down in The louisville, game you, 123 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: know we had to play without him the next couple 124 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 4: of nights and we Let moo jump and he won 125 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 4: both of.

Different defense that's what your preseason practice is, 378 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 4: all about so that there's nothing you see that you don't. 379 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 4: Prepared for but when you're in a very short prep in, 380 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: league play you can't work on, every contingency so you 381 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 4: try to work on the things that are, likely right 382 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 4: and that's what all our scouting, is about and then 383 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 4: you're always working on who you are every, day too 384 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 4: so you don't lose.

A game i don't KNOW that 388 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 4: i expected any way he'd play it for the, entire 389 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 4: game but we had spent a little bit of, time 390 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 4: preparing maybe ten minutes the day before for when they. 391 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 4: GO zoned i thought in the first segment we were 392 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 4: moving it well and we were doing some of the 393 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 4: things we practiced terry in the, first Half but mustafa 394 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 4: was kind of hiding behind it a little bit on, 395 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 4: the baseline and that was an adjustment we made it 396 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 4: halftime to get him up the floor into some of 397 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 4: the seams where he could face, and Play get boba 398 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 4: up on, the floor and then we Actually moved jalen 399 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 4: up to the top of. The floor he could pass 400 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 4: around it over and maybe on some. Shooting pockets it 401 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 4: all really worked Other than jalen was over seven.

A margin i don't 498 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 4: think it's. EVEN close i think they've lost. THREE games 499 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: i think their first two years In The big twelve 500 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 4: they lost three. 501 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 3: Games total. 502 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 4: IT'S amazing i think they've they've lost once, this year 503 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 4: so they've lost four games in.

That's somebody nobody's. 506 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 4: Beating THEM and i think in terms of how you 507 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 4: have to attack them and the things you HAVE to 508 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 4: i think that's SIMPLE and i think everybody understands. Those 509 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 4: things that's preparing To. Play houston but achieving those things 510 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 4: for forty minutes is the. Complex part, and certainly as 511 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 4: you look at most of our most of our games, 512 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 4: against them and we've, played them they've had the best 513 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 4: record in college basketball over the last. Five years we've 514 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 4: played them more than anybody by double over the last, 515 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 4: five years just the way it's. Worked out but we've 516 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 4: been in a lot of very. Close games we've had 517 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 4: leads late, in games and so the things that you have, 518 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 4: to do we've, had moments we've done. Them well we 519 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 4: have to do them more consistently to get over, the 520 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 4: top and it's certainly more difficult when you're on. 521 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 5: THE road i know this as. A player all loss, 522 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 5: is hurt but does some losses hurt more? Than others 523 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 5: considering the fact that You've played houston so, many times 524 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 5: and you played them to the point where it seemed 525 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 5: as if going to the last five minutes, or so 526 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 5: you guys are in control of, the game and like 527 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 5: last year you STARTED out i think it was seventeen, 528 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 5: to three like you had control of the. Game early 529 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 5: it's a, long, game obviously BUT obviously i look at 530 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 5: IT and i see almost like twin brothers fighting against 531 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 5: each other and one person has a, cheap code because 532 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 5: it seems like you guys compete to the very end 533 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 5: to beat a team, like them and somehow it just 534 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 5: does not work. 535 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 4: Out, WELL again i tell you that those games that 536 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 4: it's come down to one or two possessions, against them 537 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 4: and there's been a bunch. 538 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 3: Of them we. 539 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 4: Had to do a lot of great things in those 540 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 4: games to get those positions because it. 541 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 3: Can get in. 542 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 4: The, position yeah it's been hard for people to even 543 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 4: be in. Those positions. They're winning their margin of victory 544 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 4: has also been the highest in. 545 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 6: College basketball they're, beating people, you know they're beating, good 546 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 6: teams top twenty, five teams sometimes twenty, five thirty and 547 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 6: so again in those some of those games that, you 548 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 6: mentioned like we've we've played some of our best Games, 549 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 6: against houston but they've been a, top, one two three 550 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 6: team in the country a lot of, Those years final, 551 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 6: four teams and we have to figure out a way 552 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 6: to get a couple. 553 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 4: Possessions better but going into tomorrow's Game or, saturday's game, 554 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 4: you know we got to do the things that we've 555 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 4: done to be in, those positions and then we got 556 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: to get a couple. Possessions better so it's not just 557 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 4: we get two. Possessions better we got to go back 558 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 4: and play really good basketball against a great team on 559 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 4: the road to be in. THAT position i think they've 560 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 4: lost one game at home in three years or something. 561 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: Like that so, you know we're gonna have to play really. 562 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 4: Good Basketball and i've said this all. Year long we're 563 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 4: very capable. 564 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 2: Of that in the last, five Years Two, final Fours one, 565 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: elite eight And two sweet Sixteens, For houston so obviously 566 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: they have been the most consistently good team in the 567 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: country for the last.

Basketball games like there's, been, great talented 599 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 4: deep drafts, of freshmen but were they able to impact 600 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 4: games across the landscape of college basketball at the high 601 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 4: levels like this. 602 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 3: Group is it's it's it's. 603 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 4: Really impressive and we've seen quite a few of them 604 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 4: already and we're going to see more of them as 605 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 4: we move forward into. 606 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 5: Our, schedule yeah He Has all American McDonald's all american 607 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 5: buddy on, His Team Chris, sinek junior who you said 608 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 5: starting to figure. 609 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 3: It out how scary is that for this team? Right? 610 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 4: NOW yeah i mean he was he was effective in 611 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 4: the game that we, played early but he wasn't one 612 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 4: of the guys that, you know he, was great but 613 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 4: he didn't jump off the page in the Way that. 614 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 4: Flemings did, You know sharp's voul trouble in the first 615 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 4: game was a factor in, the game and then he 616 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 4: was great in the. Second half but he's starting now 617 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 4: to become even more of a. Focal point he's already 618 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 4: played the minutes and started and been their primary guy 619 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 4: at the, fore position but now he's becoming more of 620 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 4: a focal point of what they're. Doing offensively and, you 621 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 4: know again the talent has been obvious from when he 622 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 4: was in. High school he keeps improving and give those 623 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 4: guys credit for how. 624 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: He's Developing dayDay thomas didn't have a huge game, last 625 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: night but he helped you win eight point, six rebounds. 626 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 3: Four assists was? 627 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: That importance was that an important step For day day 628 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: considering the struggles that he had in the two Games. 629 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 3: In, arizona yeah he Was much he was back to himself. 630 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 4: Last NIGHT when i think about, day day the FIRST 631 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 4: thing i do is not look at the statueet because 632 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 4: his impact on our team is so much greater. Than 633 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 4: THAT so i know his stat lines were probably said 634 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 4: the worst stat lines his Career in arizona, Last week but. 635 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 4: He didn't he wasn't himself in a lot, of ways 636 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 4: and there was. No reason he just, you know he's 637 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 4: had a, bad week like we. All do it is human, 638 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 4: beings sometimes and it wasn't his best. Basketball WEEK but 639 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 4: i thought he was back to playing like himself. Last 640 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 4: night he, Looked confident he showed. Leadership quality he made 641 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 4: some really nice. Defensive plays if there's one PERSON that 642 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 4: i don't worry about a lot to, DAY day i 643 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 4: knew HE respond i thought he responded. 644 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 5: Really well how do you work injured players back into? 645 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 5: The Rotation kirk crease is coming back off of that, 646 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 5: shoulder separation he's been out for. A while you're giving 647 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 5: him minutes just to see the flow. Going, on obviously 648 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 5: you don't want to get him hurting practice running into. 649 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 5: A screen how do you manage to filter back a 650 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 5: player that is an important part of. Your offense knowing 651 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 5: you need shooting and playmaking that. 652 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 4: He, DOES well i think the easiest way is to 653 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 4: work them back through practices, and then, you know that's the. 654 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 4: Natural progression we don't necessarily have that ability this time 655 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: of year when you're playing games every, couple days And 656 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 4: so kurz. Barely practice so we're trying to get him 657 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 4: back into, his rhythm make sure he's, in shape make 658 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 4: sure he's. Fully healthy and, also he's like, you said 659 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 4: he's very important to. Our team so that's delicate and 660 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 4: that's not. Been SIMPLE but i am glad that. He's 661 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 4: back and LAST night i thought he gutted. It out, 662 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 4: you know he didn't participate in practice the, day before 663 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 4: was fifty to fifty and, shoot AROUND and i thought 664 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 4: he gutted it out because, you know he knew that 665 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 4: our team, needed him and he was pretty good in. 666 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 4: HIS minutes i know he didn't he got some really 667 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 4: good looks and didn't make him, from three kind Of, 668 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 4: like jalen but he moved the. Ball well he actually defended, 669 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 4: really well which is kind Of what i've been waiting 670 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 4: to see coming off. The injury can he get back 671 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 4: to defending at the level that he was before he. 672 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: Got hurt you faced one of the top scorers in 673 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 2: the league, last Night And, cameron carr he's averaging more 674 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: than twenty points. A game he went one.

About defense it's about 711 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 4: what that defense does for our offense when it's. Played correctly, 712 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 4: you know our rebounding on both ends is such a 713 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 4: huge part of who.
