1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: How beneficial was it to you to sort of get 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: some rhythm go? And it seems like every time you 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: get opportunities once you know, when it's not like one here, 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: one there, that you sort of then that that's when 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: you seem to produce best. Mm uh. You know, rhythm 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: comes you know with players of course, and you know 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: for me in my situation, I just come in and 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, I try to do my best when my 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: numbers called, I just gotta stay ready. That's really the 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: big thing for me is just staying raised, staying locked 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: in the game and not trying to make it too big, 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: but just you know, sometimes just take the base hit 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: and seeing what happens, just playing smart. How difficult do 14 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: you find it though, when you do have to come 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: in here are coming in from one to place here there, here, there, 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: and there's no consistent opportunity. Uh. You know, you and 17 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: I both know you can be a little frustrated, But 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: at the same time, it's for the sake of the team. 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Um I care less, you know, just come in and 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: do my job and my numbers called, and you know 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: it is what it is. I controlled, I control man, 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: and just take it from there. It's been frustrating for you, 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, with the opportunities and whatnot. And you know 24 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: you talk about staying ready, but how do you not 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: let you know the what you know, the opportunities that 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: are they are manifesting yourself to where you're saying, gee, 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: am I ever going to get this opportunity? Why am 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: I even bothering going through this? Honestly? You know I 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: used to think that way, but there's no reason to 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: think that way. Like why you know, it's the just 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: the main focus is just to come in and do 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: my job, you know, and I really can't worry about 33 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: all that because all that's uncontrollable, you know, I just 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: gotta focus on doing my job and just being away. 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: Did you have that change of heart maybe you know 36 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: when you got the fresh start with this coaching staff. Uh, 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: just you know, just general living, just life, you know, 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: learning life, getting mature. Tell hey, Wayne, I know you 39 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: and Evan are very close. How what did you say 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: to him? Or do you not say anything to him? 41 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: After you know that kind of game? He was obviously 42 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: very upset and you know, accountable with us. I'm wondering 43 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: as on the bus ride home or whatnot, or you 44 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: know in the locker room. What you say or what 45 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: you don't say? That Evan Ingram and that's fine. I 46 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: just told him my guys back. You know that's my brother. 47 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: You know we came in together, been here, uh together 48 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: for a real long time. And you know, I love Evan. 49 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: I told him I love him, and I got is back. 50 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: And that's really all it needs to be said. He 51 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: knows what he has to do. You gotta flip the switch. Man, 52 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: just going to the next play. I gotta put that 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: behind you and get prepared for the next week. Wait, 54 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: you've been here. You're actually one of the long I 55 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: don't even know if you realize that you're one of 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: the longest tenure guys in this locker room. Uh. And 57 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: it's been a lot of you know, the from seeing 58 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: a lot of losing here in the last couple of years. 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: Does this feel any different? Does this feel like here 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: we go again, we've been here before? Like, what is 61 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: that we're not in the locker room obviously this year? 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: What is the temperature here in the locker room? All 63 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: I can naturally feel is that we're so close to 64 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: getting over that edge, and we're pretty much I think 65 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: we're over the edge. I just think we gotta fix 66 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: a couple of things. But then I love this team. 67 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: I love the position where uh, this is the best 68 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: team we've had the past couple of years, so close, 69 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: So you feel closer than you you feel closer than 70 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: you did when you were you know, two and six 71 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: last year, one and five the year before. Yeah, I 72 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: believe in this team. Let's say one more town rap, 73 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: Wayne that said you were also on this team when 74 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: they've gotten to the trade deadline and shipped off some 75 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: pretty important players, do you uh think about that for 76 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: the next week and a half or so before the 77 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: trade deadline and wanted to look around the locker room 78 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: and wonder who's gonna stay and who might go. Honestly, uh, 79 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: I really don't really think about that because I can't 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: really control, you know, who's gonna leave and who's gonna stay. 81 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: You know, I just gotta waiting to see it's gonna 82 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: be there the next day. I mean, now, I let 83 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: my teammates. I'm pretty sure whoever's gonna I hit him up. 84 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: But you know, you can't really control those things. I 85 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: just gotta worry about coming to worky, stay and just 86 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: doing your job.
