Devon. You see from him in that in that
third quarter, typically when he had 15
points. Special man, especially me,
he's all stop for a reason.
I mean, I feel like gotta be
repeating myself from yesterday.
I mean, but he's special.
I mean, he's the reason why our team goes.
I mean he went on a stretch where?
He's just doing it by himself.
I mean, let's be realistic like
he's hitting tough shots and.
You know it's huge form and I'm excited
for him because I know how long he's
kind of waiting for this moment.
And you know he's taking
full advantage of it.
I think all of us have
waited for this moment.
We're all stepping up into it,
so it's huge.
Boys and deal with the defense with him.
I mean he's attacking the paint,
but now he's hitting,
hitting his midrange. And yeah,
I mean. That's what I asked there is
you can't really give up anything,
and that's where the giant has been doing.
You know the mayor, angels,
lethal, you know he gets the
basket and like you said,
he's been hitting three.
So I mean, what do you give up?
You can't really give anything up.
I know it's only two games,
but you kill you're settling in
that role now. Starting role.
I mean, I think I think it's a. I think
it's been going good,
just trying to stay confident and not
get too high and not get too low.
I have great teammates and great
coaches who stay on me and you know,
at the beginning of this game,
feel like I couldn't hit nothing,
but everybody keeps telling me just
keeps you and keeps you and keep being
aggressive and you know that's huge
to hear you know what I'm saying so.
You know it's been two games
and we got two wins,
but I mean we got another big challenge.
When we play Chicago,
so I'm looking forward to it.
I don't. I don't know how many
turnovers they end up with,
but you guys forced a lot.
Very active comfortably. Is that?
I mean, that's what I kind of talked
about in the beginning of the season.
That's where we hang our hats on.
And you know, we get our stops and we get,
we get deflections and
we're out in transition.
I think that's when we're at our best. So,
you know, we're hanging our hats on defense.
And we know we don't play no defense.
We're not going to have a chance to win
the game, so it all starts with us.
It starts with this starting five
and you know it trickles down.
But you know lottery.
They're thinking some fans would
think of lottery right now,
but it sounds like you guys are
going in the opposite direction.
Of course, DJ just lectured
me a little bit on playoffs.
You know, saying it's no doubt that that's
no doubt about that.
We try to make the playoffs. I don't.
We're not thinking about the lottery.
We're thinking about next game winning.
We're thinking about playoffs.
We're thinking about being in it.
You know, we're not.
We're not saying the season
is awash for what I mean,
we're all competing and
we all feel like we're.
We can make a push and that's
what we're going to do.
Quote up to Chicago.
You excited about that scene?
Tomorrow again, just the excitement of
course. Of course it's I mean.
It's a great arena to play and they have
great players and great coaching staff,
so it's going to be a great game.
We gotta be locked in and you know,
of course, I'm looking forward to it.
And obviously helps you showcase
your game, but it gives a little
more minutes for Josh and try to
talk about the guys on the bench.
That's huge for them.
I mean, I think that's been huge.
I'm pretty much playing with a lot
more confidence and you see Trey.
I mean he went on stretch tonight
where he was just getting to the cup.
And you know, just just I.
I always bring this up,
but I play with Trey during summer league.
I know how good Trey is and I
think that you know this is a big
opportunity for both of them and
they're both gonna see you know,
as as they keep playing.
It's just going to look better and better.
Just gonna keep getting better and better.
And I'm excited for them.
About how great it didn't get these
starts and kind of get some more
shots up and running with that first,
it's been huge. Like I said,
the fact that the coaches and you know
my teammates had that much confidence
in me to play and you know me kind
of handled the ball a lot more.
I feel like you know through the
season and even last year, you know,
I I couldn't really handle the ball.
I wasn't really in screening roles.
I wasn't really making a lot of reads like.
Now that I'm, you know,
starting I'm making a lot more
reasoned action, stuff like that.
So just kind of showcasing everything
which I said I was going to do
in the beginning of the season.
Got it. I'm trying to get back to the
way the team did last two nights.
You know you look at.
Say a team has back to back wire
to wire double digit Rd wins.
You wouldn't expect that team to have,
like the record at the Spurs have. Can
you kind of put your finger on?
I don't think the records are
records show us how good are we are.
I think that we've had multiple gains.
I mean multiple games where work down to
the wire with some of the best teams.
And you know maybe two possessions went
wrong and now we lost the game like I
think we have multiple games like that so
I record doesn't show how good we are.
But I mean that's fine because from
those lawsuits we've taken a lot of
lessons from me and we're building from.
Thank
you like 7. Set.
