00:02 - Okay.
00:03 - How you doing?
00:04 (indistinct)
00:05 - All right.
00:05 (indistinct)
00:08 - A lot of times when you come to a new team,
00:10 you don't know exactly what kind of opportunity
00:12 you're gonna get.
00:13 You might not get much of one,
00:14 but you might be able to play a good amount of,
00:16 but what's it been like as far as coming here
00:18 and getting to contribute the way you have?
00:19 - Yeah, no, it's been a lot of fun playing with this group.
00:21 I think we have a lot of guys who like to go out there
00:23 and compete, work hard every single day,
00:25 great coaching staff, front office.
00:26 So I think it was just a great opportunity to come here
00:28 and just help this team be able to win as many games
00:30 as possible.
00:31 - What are some of the things that you're trying to
00:33 to kind of show and cement you as a player of the NBA?
00:38 - I would say just compete at a high level,
00:40 every single possession, every single game.
00:43 You know, I think it's great to score.
00:45 It's great to do all those highlight plays,
00:47 but I think all the little detailed things
00:48 are important to winning games and winning championships.
00:52 - Going into a game like this,
00:53 where it's part of the preseason tournament,
00:55 is that part of the conversation that you guys have,
00:57 or is it just more like we just need to win a game
00:59 that doesn't matter the circumstances behind it?
01:02 - I mean, we know there's a cash prize
01:05 and there's an end season tournament,
01:07 but we treat every single game like the same.
01:09 We want to go out there and compete,
01:11 practice the habits we've worked on every single day
01:13 and just go out there and just live with those results.
01:15 - What's the focus in this one,
01:16 is being able to see Dallas in the second game
01:19 and not a back-to-back, but kind of a great game?
01:21 - I mean, I think there was a lot of good and bad
01:23 from the game the other day,
01:24 but I think just going in there with the game plan we have,
01:26 we have a lot of good players that know what they're doing
01:28 and they're very smart, we have a great coaching staff,
01:30 so just go out there and compete at a high level
01:32 is most important.
01:33 - What was the message, kind of,
01:34 the stuff that you guys reiterated at shoot-around today?
01:37 - Yeah, just to be sharp, just to bring energy,
01:39 to compete, just have fun with it, you know?
01:41 We get to do this as our job,
01:43 so we love doing it every single day.
01:45 - Are there certain things, specific things defensively
01:47 that you guys want to do better, obviously?
01:49 They got off to a great start in the last game.
01:52 - Yeah, I know I said compete,
01:55 but really at the end of the day,
01:56 if you're not competing, it's hard to win games.
01:58 So I think competing at a high level is really important
02:00 and just communicating as well,
02:01 just making sure everybody's on the same page.
02:03 - Thank you, good luck tonight.
