The urgency 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: has to be up. Um and um you know, going 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: in playing a team like Miami that knows us very well. Uh, 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna be you know, coached well, they're gonna be 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna be ready to go. I got a lot 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: of hungry players. Um So, it's gonna be a tough battle. 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: And you have to have that mentality. You have plenty 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: of stake for you guys.

You're getting 22 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: into the regular season as you last week and this 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: week again sort of must playoff.

Uh, there's a little more 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: at stake. So, um, you know, you sit back and 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: you do a couple of lecture this, a couple lecture 28 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: of that, and then and uh, you know, cross the 29 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 1: teams got the eyes and and go from there. Flord 30 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: of the younger guys home poorn and every detail is 31 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: this time of years, it gets bigger and bigger implored 32 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: to the younger guys too, home porn and every detail 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: isn't this time of year it gets bigger and bigger. Yeah, 34 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean I think, um, you know, our coaches do 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: a great job of that as well. A lot of 36 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: leaders do that as well. And um, you know I 37 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: think they're uh you know, they understand that. Uh. It's 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: a definitely a tougher time to play. So, um, I'm 39 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: pretty rattled with how bad she was coughing and now 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna get sick. So that's great. 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: Megan has learned how to walk away, jeez, rookie away 42 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: and things like that. Yeah, how much fun is this 43 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: time of year. I mean, it's why you play the game. 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: You know, you go out and just playing important games. Um, 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, compete against uh, really good opponents, you know, 46 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: and putting your team in position to go out and 47 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: continue to compete. Um, that's that's the goal. So, uh, 48 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's very fun. A lot of great fours 49 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: you practice against one and stuff on on the regular. 50 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: Did you speak to the kind of about him doing 51 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. I mean, I imagine you 52 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: guys in that room, in this room support that candidacy. 53 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: I mean he's uh, he's a monster, and you know, 54 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: he works incredibly hard. He's a really great teammate. Uh. 55 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: You know, he talks very he doesn't talk very much. Um, 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: but when he does talk, it's it's usually you know, 57 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: everyone listens. Um. That's the kind of guy he is. Um. 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: You know, I think he's very deserving of that award. 59 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: H you know, he had an incredible year and and 60 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: looking forward to keep it keep it going. So um, 61 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure he doesn't really want to talk 62 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: about it, because he's not that type of guy that uh, 63 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, worries about those things. He's a he's a 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: team guy, so that's what you love about him the most.
