Well, what I've been up to is 0:00:53.479 --> 0:01:02.040 pretty much the same thing every day, which is scrimmaging, sleeping, eat, scrimmage, 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:07.039 sleeping eat. Schedule doesn't change, just a little bit more 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.880 scramms to day, a little bit less another day, but 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.000 we're always getting better, so as y'all can see. In 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.400 our last game versus two Wolves, we fought. It was 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.600 a great series. I felt like we should have won, 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.880 but it is what it is. I feel like we're back. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:27.240 That's good. And we'll talk about that series here a 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.399 little more more so here in a minute, and we'll 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.600 talk about just an update on our team and stuff. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.959 Trying to get the chat pulled up, I see that 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.160 there's already some comments in there. If you guys want 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.280 to write those comments again, I got it pulled up 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.640 and it will I'll be able to read them. So 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.640 if you guys have any questions or anything you want 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.840 us to talk about, just go ahead and write them 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.000 in the chat. First off, let's do a little recap 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.480 of you know, the first two weeks of the season. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:01.400 Obviously started out the season with a tough week with 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.520 the Raptors and the Hornets. UM, definitely some things that 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:12.720 we struggled with the first week, Uh turnovers, UM, defense 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.720 wasn't wasn't too great, and uh, you know the next 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.640 the following week, we we had the Warriors and the 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.600 Tea Wolfs, and uh, I think against the Warriors we 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:29.000 showed signs of us getting better. Um, we started out 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.000 really well and then um it just sindt translate through 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.679 a whole game, and then uh we had a rematch 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:41.080 with the t Wos, the finals rematch and game one, 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.519 I think we we kept it, we kept it close, 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.680 we we did some things, some good things, and then 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.919 game two we we felt like ourselves again, UM, not 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.440 only because we won, but I mean we were communicating, 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.080 we had drive, we had passion, and it was something 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.880 that it was good to hear on the mic. Obviously 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.160 I can't be down there with them, but you can hear. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.280 You can hear them, and you could tell that there 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.160 there was a row of motion and they were they 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.639 were locked in. And I think game three they were 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.760 like that as well. They played great. UM. We made 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:19.240 a lot of adjustments UM from previous games with I mean, 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.680 I think our turnovers were kept down low. I think 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.920 we shot fairly well, UM. And I think with the ball, UH, 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.760 Screttie showed how good and how how good he can be, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.600 UM and how much he's improved from the offseason as 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.400 being a secondary ball handler, and we just have to 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.920 get a little more consistency out of that. And Uh, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.600 he's working and he's getting better. So I'm definitely excited 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.280 for that, UM. And if you guys have a take 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.520 on it, go ahead season, take on it, Take on 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:55.360 the series. Yeah, I felt like, um, I definitely played 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.800 better than previous games. Uh think I had like twenty 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.800 game almost and it obviously helped us because the scores 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.120 was a little bit closer. So I feel like with 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.000 me being more aggressive, I don't a build that I 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.960 can like score, feel like it takes a lot of 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:18.039 weight off Radiant and the team. Yeah. Uh, for what, 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.279 I guess the chat that watches the ur two K 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.159 League games, you guys can tell that there's things in 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.880 the league build that are a little discouraging, like things like, 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.359 you know, anybody can get ripped at any moment, and 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.640 at the beginning of the season, we weren't adjusting to that. Well, uh, 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.160 you know, we have one of the best point guards 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.960 in the world and him he likes to dribly, likes 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.800 to cook up, and that's how he's been for the 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.640 past two seasons. So like it was tough blaming him 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.480 in the beginning for like those turnovers because as a 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.159 point guard in two K, you know, that's something that 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:52.640 you've been used to your whole life, being one of 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.320 the best drivelers in the world, being able to shoot 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.080 very well, and uh, you know, just losing the ball 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.800 out of nowhere. It's very frustrating, and that's how we 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.279 developed a lot of turnovers. And like I said, that's 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.400 not completely his fault, but it's just like we took 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.520 a little longer than other teams took to adjust to that, 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.320 and I think now we're adjusting really well. The like 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.240 the Warriors game, I know we had a few tune 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.880 our turnovers, but nothing crazy. And then t Bowls game, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.960 we really limited our turnovers and that's why it was 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.080 such a good series. And so yeah, we're getting better 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.960 every week. But now it's getting to the point where, 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.520 you know, we really got to lock in and start 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.560 just taking out teams left and right and just start 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.000 getting the street going. But yeah, I was proud of 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.640 our team. Obviously not the outcome we wanted in Game three, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.880 but uh, you know with our first four games, like 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.440 take out the first two games because those ones, you know, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.279 we got blown out. But if we were playing like 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.600 how we just played the other night, like those first 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.080 four games are such good teams that any team could 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.840 win that. Like, if we were to play those four 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.160 teams again right now, it could go either way and 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.760 you could easily be four and oh you could be 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.440 two and two, you can be O and four like 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.039 it can just happen in this league, and that's what 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.600 makes this league so compared. I have been so much 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.400 fun to play with. Definitely, Dirk said, what is it 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.039 like having a start like this? Since you guys haven't 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:12.360 experienced this in the first two seasons, I'll start. I 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.400 think it gives us a new challenge. We start out 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.960 every year so far with the tip off tournament. We 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:26.080 win it, and we've never really we've had adversity. We've 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.760 had like things in the season, like we'll go through 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.240 a patch every year where we struggle a couple of games. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.600 Last year, I remember we were four and four at 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:41.920 one point. We finished the season eleven and five. We're 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:47.479 very capable of going out and I truly believe this 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.760 of going out and you know, going on a big streak. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.919 Our team's still the same guys, still the We're the 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.560 same seventy six ers that could be three and one 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.520 right now or four and oh. Um. We have to 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.320 continue to make adjustments. We have to continue to keep 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.920 our mindset correct and just stay positive and I think 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.200 we'll be fine. Um. We're excited for the challenge. I think, 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:19.960 UM everybody here is excited to bounce back. And I 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.880 always tell our guys like, at the end of this season, 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.840 we're gonna look back at this and it's going to 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.800 be a defining moment for us. Whether it's good or bad, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.040 it's going to define us in some way. So we're 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.400 just excited for the challenge. And if you guys want 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.920 to touch on it, yeah, I think there's more factors 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.000 that play into this obviously, Like when we would go 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.720 through our our slumps last year, I was more just 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:49.680 like on us just strictly that, Like, there's obviously a 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.440 couple more factors. Now there's you know, the quarantine and 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.600 remote play and a bunch of things, and it's no 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.520 excuses like we should be able to you know, adjust well. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.600 But even the teams that are winning right now, like 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.360 even the you know, Raptors, I know they're you know, 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.480 they're still going through it. Like every everybody has their 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.160 their issues right now with what's going on with playing 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.640 from home or just being in the house all day 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.760 every day. Um. I know, I just saw a couple 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.960 of people tweet out today like that, you know, it's 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.200 really getting to them. Um. So it's like those are 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.120 other factors that are playing into this as well, and 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.559 through all that, you know, not seeing your family being 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.480 secluded in your own house, like being in your own 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.720 room all day, like stuff like that, like and then 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.760 going and just playing the same game and then wake 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.480 up the next day and kind of like what Scretti said, 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.840 you wake up, scrim eat, go to sleep, wake up 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.360 scrim eat, go to sleep. That's kind of what it 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.960 is right now. And so at times it's it's hard 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.840 to you know, to just really focus on what you 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.800 need to focus on. But it is what it is. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.800 It's what we got to do. Um. But not only 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.199 are like we're alling four and and like we're going through. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.000 But no, we're not any different than the teams that are, 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.040 like I said, that are winning there. Everybody's going through 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:58.719 right now. And I know, you know, Scretti can touch 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:03.040 on it a little bit, um, but yeah, yeah, I'm 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.760 gonna touch on about us starting on four again. Like 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.520 this is definitely a challenge we haven't faced before. But 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.400 I feel like, um, right now, we're in a tough 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.360 spot because we can only afford maybe two three laws 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.000 or so we have to really lock in. And we 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.199 was in the same situation last year, like Ty said, 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.080 when we were forming four, and we have went on 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.840 like a six game winning streak. So I feel like 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.000 it's very tough right now, but I feel like we 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.400 can get through it. We could easily go five and 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.240 know in these next five, no, not to the teams 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.040 we face, but I feel like we're getting our groove back. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.680 And yeah, I definitely miss home, miss my mom, miss family, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.880 feel like everybody does. But it is what it is, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.400 and I'll get to see him when I can. The 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.160 other thing that's like weird about, like obviously this season 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.920 with remote player is that when we went on like 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.320 our streets every year the first two seasons, you play 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.640 these teams obviously in New York, and you play them, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.680 you strike, and you strike fast like we would play 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.720 them in like first quarter, by the second quarter up 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.239 fifteen twenty, and it's kind of like their the opportunity 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.400 from the team we played, just like their chance already slipped. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.120 Where It's like. Another thing that sucks about remote play 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.959 sometimes is with best of three series is let's say, 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.439 you know, I mean it worked in our benefit. The 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.320 other day we lost first game to Teobles, when we 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.040 came back and beat them game two. But like, you know, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.960 we could go out there win game one and then 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.200 you could lose the next two games, where it's like 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.520 one of the that's why, that's what's so challenging about it. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:31.760 But it's like, if you're the better team, you should 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:36.199 win the best of three series. But I've always liked 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.679 the feeling, the reason why I like New York and 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.720 all that kind of stuff. Even though some like tournaments, 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.280 I always feel like when money's on the line, like 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:42.800 the tournaments, I feel like those should always be like 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.040 best of threes because like, you know, that's money right there. 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.520 Regular season games have always like, you know, one game, 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.880 let's see what happens, and and I think that's that's 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.640 where a lot of sparks I come from. You don't 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.840 you won't really see too many upsets, like there were 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.120 upsets last year because you know, it's one game series. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.880 In regular season, there's not too many upsets because of 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.520 a team like shocks you or like comes out with 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.040 a surprising lineup. Game one, you just adjust. Game two, 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.959 You'll be fine, Okay, win that, and now it's win 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.360 game three and get us out of here. Um. So 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.480 it's just it's definitely different I wouldn't say I like 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.520 it or dislike it. It's just it's a it's a 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.840 more different feeling. And now knowing that, you know, we're 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.319 trying to go on a streak. Now we're trying to 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.000 make some stuff shake. And now it's like it's not 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.920 just one game every time, it's we gotta win two, 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.600 or we gotta win you know, the game two in three, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.240 or we gotta win one and two like you know. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:33.040 So yep. So we have a question from Milo. He said, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.840 what's it like compared to playing what's on the line, like, 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.959 compared to playing at NYC uh scared if you want 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:45.040 to take that. Yeah, definitely, Oh, big difference, big difference, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.600 especially for the rookies. Um not being on stage. It's 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.080 definitely tough because when you go on that run and 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.839 you get to yell with the other team, it rattles 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.280 them a little bit. So now we're like, we can't 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.800 we can't do that. We can only get energy from 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.480 each other and our coach. So it's like, I don't know, 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.160 it's it's very different and it's like I don't know, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.080 I'm not I'm not really with the vibes I want 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.040 to be. I want to be back on stage so bad. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.400 It's like, it's it's not bad to say. I think 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.280 people are like scared to say, like on you know, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.679 Twitter or I guess on a podcast or on a 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.560 stream that that they're not really fans of the remote play, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.800 Like nobody really is, honestly, it's just what we have 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.600 to do. And does it give us more opportunities as 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.360 a league for expanding, Like have we been on ESPN 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.120 two and uh us versus the Wizards? We were on 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.480 a NBC Philly Like that's awesome, that's great, um, and 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.920 it does tremendous things for our brand. But we're a team, 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.800 like it's it's no shock that we're a team that 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.640 under the bright lights, like we show up and we 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.880 always have and uh and that's where we want to be. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.360 It's always fun. It's a different atmosphere. It's our it's 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.400 our way of having our own business trip. And sometimes, 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.160 you know, when we go down we're in a teamhouse 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:05.800 and we go down to the basement to play, it 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.959 doesn't feel like a business trip. And you know, there's 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.480 plenty of things that you can try to do to 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.679 change that, but you'll never get that exact same feeling 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.600 of walking down those stairs in New York and you 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.600 know Scott Cole or Dirk is calling, you know here coming, 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.360 you know, the boys from Philly like seventy six years 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.240 g see, and we're wearing our jerseys and you know 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.400 Scretty has his hood up and everybody's locked in and 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.360 you lock eyes with the other team and you start, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.600 you know, talking a little trash and like that's where 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.800 you give him that moment and you can't really have 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.160 that right now. It's no excuse for why we're oping four. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.240 It's just you know, something we still do with this do. Yeah, 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:44.800 it's just different. Yeah for us. Danny said, do you 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.000 guys need me on top of the stairs to fist 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.960 pump y'all? See, like things like that. That's something that 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.280 we always are used to. I'm used to, you know, 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.400 getting we all we're all used to. You know. Once 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.840 we get there, we instantly go up in to the 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.280 locker room and you start shooting around, shoot around, and 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.560 then you walk around for a little bit, maybe catch 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:02.960 some of the games that if we didn't have the 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.920 first game, you know, we're watching and just kind of 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.880 just sitting there getting your mind right, and you know, 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.000 obviously the fans. That's like the next biggest thing. You have, 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.880 the fans that are around you that are going crazy. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.800 And I don't think a moment will ever be like 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.600 those playoff moments last season where like the fans, our 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.640 fans from Philly like took a bus up and we're 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.920 going crazy the whole time, and and having the feeling 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.320 now to where you know, I have my own beliefs. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.280 Everybody has our own beliefs what's going to happen this season. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.400 But not being able to see fans as often like that, 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.280 that kind of sucks because I know what kind of 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.440 impacts every Sixers do you see has brought to this league, 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.240 And I know what we do for fans, Like you know, 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.720 people have always come up to me and said, we'd 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.400 love watching the Sixers. I know, even though we're owing four, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.840 people still love watching us because at any moment, we 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.400 can make something happen and that's what's always been special 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.760 about our team. But yeah, it's it is weird getting 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.800 away from the routine of being in New York. Definitely. Uh, 0:14:55.040 --> 0:15:02.560 Mama Scrat said, I miss you two son um is 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:09.080 it Audio Hodio? He said, Uh? Any build changes being 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:14.680 made Uh, we're we're laughing some stuff. We're always yeah, 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.080 we're always gonna go over some stuff. But yeah, like 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.360 I mean, we're we're not gonna tell if we're gonna 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:25.840 yea U, we're gonna do that or up. But um, 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:31.600 sports Stein said, did did you get figured? Did you 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.480 get figured? I guess what what you're trying to say is, 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.880 did you guys figure out something? Game two versus the 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:41.680 t Wolves. Um. I don't think our problem is figuring 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.200 out other teams. I think it's figuring out our team. Um. 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:49.200 And I think we're getting there, um, just as you 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.160 can see from week one to our last game, Like 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.400 we're figuring out ourselves, and like what works for us, 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.800 and the biggest thing is not whatever other team does, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.680 it's what we do. And like we limit turnovers that 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.600 closes the margin. We hit more open shots that closes 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:13.520 the margin. We talk consistently on defense that gives up 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.560 like airs on defense given the other other team wide 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:22.480 open shots, and we're closing the margin. We're figuring it out. Um. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.600 As these guys said, like it is a lot different 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.600 playing at your house, um, remotely than it is in 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.800 the studio. Like it's just different and that's not an excuse. 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:38.360 It's a huge adjustment for our team. We have had 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:45.200 two great seasons doing something consistently, Like we have stuff 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.440 that we've done consistently for two seasons and you know, 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.240 like something we build our team around too. We build 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.040 our team around experience. We have no rookies on our team. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.720 We build our team around people that have been in 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.080 that moment that we know, like when they're on like 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.160 the stage, they can they can. I mean, I don't 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.520 think a team would have ever expected, you know, drafting 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.280 somebody who it's like, Okay, this guy probably performs best 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.040 when he's on stage. This guy probably performs best when 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.640 he's you know, behind his monitor at home by himself. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.119 Like who would have thought that, you know, drafting that 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.520 person right there might have been the answer this year 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.520 like that. That's a frustrating, yeah, and it's something we're 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.919 going to get through and we're adjusting, and you know, 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.920 we're excited to we're excited to go out this week 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.280 and play. I know all of them are. I know 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:34.000 myself as well as you know, the people supporting us 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.960 are excited for us to turn this ship around. And uh, 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.720 we have every intention of doing that. Um. Another question 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.080 from verse, He said, do you guys truly think being 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.639 on stage makes a huge difference, because I believe the 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.880 better team will still execute for the most part. I'll 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:57.520 answer this one to start out. I believe that it's 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:02.480 two separate things. Um. It's just like if you're going 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:07.320 to play, Like think about going to play a college 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.760 basketball game and you have all those fans there, you 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:16.400 have you have a routine like that you've always had, 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:20.359 say you play at the University of Kentucky, and they're 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.840 sold out every night and they are used to that environment. 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.040 They feed off their energy from their fans, and that 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:32.560 does play a role in sports. I feel like we're 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:37.280 not taking it to that extreme, but like we do 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.440 feel like there's a difference, and there is, Like some 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:45.160 people don't perform the same in a game than they 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.000 do in practice. I played college basketball and I had 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:53.439 teammates that were unbelievable shooting in practice. They were they 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:57.000 were they were dogs. There were some dogs and shoot 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:01.120 shoot around workouts like they were just knocking everything down. 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.760 But it's a different environment when it matters and there's 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.520 people there. It's not shooting you know, by yourself and 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.040 in the comfort of your your own home or your 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.960 own gym. It's it's just different. So I do believe 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:22.040 that's completely different. Um Steeves. Have you tested all the 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:28.000 center builds, Milo, Yeah, I've seen most of them. It's 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:29.920 kind of like the same as the past two seasons. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.800 You know, there's two builds that are solid that you 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:37.919 could win a game with, and I'd say, honestly, the 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.880 other ones you'd have to really play perfect to help 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.800 like win. Um there's they made one center build that's 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.520 very dominant, and they made another one that could hold 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.959 its ground, and then the rest are kind of like whoa, 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:54.359 U're not terrible builds, they're just you would have to 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.399 run some like weird offenses with it. Like you know, 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.560 they have like post playmakers and stuff like that, and 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.040 it's kind of like we're running five out like with 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.080 a post scoring like center, like kind of like last 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.280 year that people had at the four UM and like 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.359 that only takes you so far, especially in this league 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.680 build with how momentum base everything is. But to answer 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.760 your question, yeah, I've looked at them and it played 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:18.440 on a couple of them, and there's only about two 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.639 that I feel like out of the it was an eight. Yeah, yeah, 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.720 two out of the eight that are like solid that 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.440 could win you a game. Mama Scratch said, how does 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:30.320 Tucker and User fit fit the Vets. I'll answer that 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.719 all with them, Like I think they've been great. I 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.600 think they both are adjusting obviously, Like it's a little 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:40.159 different like coming into a teamhouse with guys that have 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.200 been here for you know, some two years and some 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:48.359 for for three years. Um, obviously, like their bond is 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.960 a lot deeper. But we've welcome in like their our own, 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.520 you know, like like they've been here. There's no weird 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:59.560 like vibes or anything like that. Everybody gets along. I 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:04.000 think the adjustment like for them, honestly, was more so 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.640 not leaving the house, like we haven't got to leave 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.400 the house or you know, we haven't got they haven't 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.399 got to go see Philly, they haven't got to go 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.000 to a game. So like that's stuff last year that 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.239 like really helped bring our team like together more. You know, 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.840 like I remember the first week we got here, the 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.680 second week we got here, or second week we got here, 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.320 everybody was here. We were gonna go to a top 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:33.840 golf and like stuff like that like helps bring teams together. 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.639
