00:00 You know, there's a lot to go back and look at.
00:03 You know, you have to, number one,
00:05 let a little bit of time pass as you sift through it
00:10 so that hopefully we're going back as a staff
00:12 and I'm going back individually
00:15 and looking at things unemotionally.
00:17 You know, we need to look at how we played
00:22 on both sides of the ball.
00:23 We obviously have, you know, room for improvement
00:26 in both areas.
00:28 Obviously, defensively, we need to get better.
00:31 I think we made a jump defensively
00:34 after the trade deadline,
00:35 but, you know, that's going to be a huge area of focus
00:39 in this off season going into next year
00:41 is how do we put the group of guys
00:43 that we have in a better position
00:44 to play better team defense.
00:47 You know, there's also a ton of situational stuff
00:50 that we always look at.
00:52 Late game, execution, different lineups,
00:57 maybe some situations that we can put our players in more.
01:00 Obviously, Lowry is somebody that we've talked a lot about
01:03 this year in his growth.
01:05 And, you know, early in the year,
01:07 the questions were sort of centered around like,
01:09 "Hey, is Lowry going to do any isos?
01:11 Are we going to, you know, he's pretty efficient."
01:12 And, you know, so I think the end of game
01:15 obviously presents opportunities
01:17 to maybe do some different things stylistically.
01:19 So those are conversations that we'll have as a staff
01:23 throughout the off season,
01:26 you know, depending on what happens with the roster,
01:29 you have to be ready to adjust.
01:31 You know, the NBA is a league of change.
01:33 And so you always assume there's going to be some things
01:37 that will be different,
01:38 whether that's just adding people through the draft
01:40 or different things that happen in the off season.
01:42 So, you know, there's obviously a lot to look at
01:47 as a staff and as a coach
01:49 to try to figure out how we can be better.
01:51 Like in no way are the players
01:53 the only ones that need to improve.
01:55 You know, I thought I felt more comfortable
01:57 at the end of the year than I did the beginning of the year.
01:58 And I fully expect that myself and our staff
02:02 will feel more comfortable going into the next training camp
02:05 than we did this year.
