It was good.

Good time with family travel A little bit this summer.

Bring me a long off season.

A lot of things work on to make sure you are.

I was 35 No, I think whenever you have Tim, you know, involved in your organization, our team, and any any form, it's always gonna be great.

So, you know, these are, you know, smart players that thinks the game played the game, so it's great for sure.

So you can eventually, but he may not have a lot of history, you know, important my first year.

So but he will.

Yeah.

I thought he would write off into the sunset and never come back.

But, you know, just loves the game so much, So you know, why not?

What is it about this thing that most makes you believe it?

Um I mean, we want back last year.

We, you know, got better over the offseason, guys.

Healthy having d.

J.

Baxter help having guys be here second there.

Years should help.

So I had some older guys.

I was to come in.

Just working out was like a second.

I would say my second year.

Was it easier for me?

It's just different for everyone, but I think it definitely gets easier for most guys here.

You understand the role.

They kind of know how, you know, talk to Bob kind of how he's going to be.

So I think it definitely is easier.

I thought it was easy last year.

I thought we kind of played well off each other Last year.

We found a good rhythm way, each other on the floor, so get better from that.

I think you should have a sense of urgency every year.

You could not play this game anymore that season, next season, next day.

So I think I've always had that sense of urgency.

The whole team shows that market to somebody's career, though, where you start to feel like you're running out of time.

I felt great.

So I know your keeps and he's old old confidence.

Uh, I feel fine, but, you know, I think you do have to try to maximize your ability to know what you have it.

I think everyone here wants to booth notice.

That's my ability.

Do you have anything to your game this season?

Same old me man just in shape.

Ready to go.

I'm gonna come out.

Three.

Everyone wants to know that.

It's like the biggest question I shot.

Unless you're just not as much.

But you know what finally got make every day Count on teams change.

You know, this is probably one of the few organizations that had the least amount of change over the years when I was born.

Change says this will happen.

I think most teams have that.

So yeah, I take each year as they come and just enjoy just just try to win.

John likes better offensively pushing the ball, using this quick most getting up and down the floor, getting stills, turnovers into easy baskets, just using his energy out there.

You have something over here just last year yelling that sh rich with defense and just kind of take that and what happened?

I think you are No Pops.

Defense is definitely my focus.

Has got to go back and look at what we did.

Well, you know, many things didn't do well.

Try to focus on, you know, working on the things that we didn't do.

Well, I think it's mine.

Said they want to come into camp ways, you know, better know thyself season.

It's always offense.

I'm not going to stay here in line, say we do a defensive jurors in the summer that's be alive.

We are working on offense all summer.

But you know, you come back in the camp in and that's when you really look on it.

That stability you mentioned earlier that kind of the lack of turnover, whereas a lot of teens leader adding a bunch of people You think that's sort of the positive for you guys going this year?

It's the first year we have had a lot of turnover since I've since I got it.

So I think that's when the help with Himanshu wise have with teaching you want to do as much teaching camp.

I think you've been such dramatic changes over the years that pops meant, you know, most, the camp trying just teach terminology and how right.

I think this year that's not issue anyone start a little head of exactly we can build on what we have here.

Just try to do better.

Close it, like watching all the changes again.

I didn't really follow like that.

If you know me.

I don't really follow the media to, uh well, you know, the West is always tough.

It's always about where every year the teams that didn't get in could have got should've got so assisted Mr Normal over here.

So it makes it more fun for us.

Time will tell you can't really say it's about chemistry Working hard.

I just figured it out, basically, making another all starting last year, just saying the same old way.

Still feel like there's a There's a place for you in this modern day MBA kind.

Of course I go do much, uh, just wrap me up.
