  • Way that leads to Jeremy just without having spoken with Bob Market e.

  • I can't give you an exact thought on.

  • They voted.

  • Jeremy's agreed, playing around the world time Just move on.

  • She was next, calling Tom Brady today not touch stuff.

  • I think it was more fun than anything but took toward and everything other than our scrimmage part and everything else cannot be everything.

  • Defensive drills, A lot of not a shooting offensive scripting out of the usual stuff.

  • Pretty, pretty good practice 1st 1st day back from break.

  • Go sweet, everybody.

  • So that's what we did.

  • And then we'll come back.

  • Just try to get back.

  • I don't know when he's gonna be allowed to scrimmage.

  • I don't think it's like it's not.

  • This looks gaining strength, confidence.

  • He's putting himself workouts.

  • This condition about as good as it can possibly be for somebody scrimmage because what he does, how he goes about his his work organization.

  • Haven't officially timeline back that way.

  • Come back and play again.

  • Not yet.

  • Nothing official will continue toe to monitor.

  • We're ready to make any announcement.

  • Delicious way.

  • Rockets choosing to go full time.

  • Five out, small lineup.

  • Um, it's been interesting.

  • They are times on guard because of wait.

  • A lot of teams were guarding, doubling, doubling.

  • James seems like this is sort of counteraction to that.

  • Now you're you've got floor totally sprint three point shooters everywhere, and it gives Russell's work with, and I think I think it's part of part of wine.

  • Russ is so so good last last few weeks.

  • Here's good before the trade to, but just watching them.

  • He's got all that space to attack, really tough to stay in front of last playoff series against that sort of thing.

  • That just started that way.

  • Last time you had a playoff series against you started that Syria's that way with Germany has the center.

  • You see that even then as a thing that way, I figured if somebody would try to be mine, it's a tough thing.

  • Is defensively is you have to be willing to takes Take your medicine Not gonna have per section so that it becomes a question.

  • Can you?

  • Can you gain more of the offensive end?

  • Then you're giving up defensive end.

  • That's sort of what everybody is wrestling with his days Temple with all the threes, you know, Best team to the ones that put as many two way Guiza's possible on.

  • I think everybody's looking for guys who can play both ends I haven't seen.

  • Haven't seen a great defensive Yes, somebody protecting so that it's a really interesting, Extremely.

  • It's gonna be fun to watch.

  • Well, I think it's a for stuff and get to know each other together.

  • I think it's first.

  • All the guys we've lost.

  • We're not gonna be back next year.

  • Strap, in many ways, has depended on those guys.

  • It's sort of a giant security so skilled and talented this is still a team effort.

  • Has been blessed with some of the smartest players, most talented players, so it's gonna be different.

  • I think it's a party only got three games before his injury was, so it's important for him to feel the difference.

  • It's different for us with all these young guys were trying to teach them on the fly.

  • A lot of things that way have taken for granted in the last five years.

  • Can't take for granted.

  • Step.

  • Needs to feel.

  • That's a big part of these.

  • You know, this last order season that he's in, what is there?

  • It's so different because with staff there's a definite time.

  • It's easy to look and say in a couple weeks, I don't know exactly what plays a long way.

  • I don't even entertain any thoughts of play.

  • But I do know that that this last part of the season is an important stretch for us to springboard international.

  • With trade for Andrew, all the young guys were trying to develop steps return.

  • These are important games, allow us to get to know each other, to play together and maybe a little with some lineup steady with some schemes and get a look at them over the summer before we get back to you said that you're trying to keep things simple for Andrew at first, but it's a plan that's gonna ramp it up and make sure that nose of George yeah, a little bit works kind of adding a little bit here and there every day.

  • We're spending time with them at the end of every practice to take over some of our sets.

  • I think over the next couple weeks he'll be able to absorb a lot more of our offense.

  • Do you like a guestimation?

  • Maybe.

  • How much of the offense has been exposed to, um, less than 50 40%?

  • Would you think of the, um and it's great, It's great.

  • And, you know, I watched tournament basketball tournament a couple of years ago.

  • The first started doing this and it was fantastic.

  • So when I read that the All Star Game was gonna employ the same rules, I thought immediately that it was gonna be a really popular I did.

  • And then I turned the game on in the first quarter of 19 and I immediately turn it off because it looked like the usual.

  • Nobody's gonna try thing went out to dinner and all of a sudden gate was on background.

  • All of a sudden, the whole for watching a locked in.

  • You're seeing the world's best just like so hard.

  • It was incredible.

  • So I think something that I'd like to see every year.

  • I think the main thing our fans want to see, not only every game is competition, the world's best athletes.

  • I thought that all starting show why these guys were best athletes in the world.

  • Would you have any fear?

  • And obviously there weren't any guys here but step funny coming back here, they could be in the game next year.

  • As a coach, would you have any fear of them playing at that level late?

  • It's knowing that the risk of injury, but I'm actually more worried.

  • Honestly, I'm worried about a risk of injury when guys don't play are when they do because they end up in weird positions when you when everybody's going hard.

  • These guys were so sophisticated till the game, so I don't know where everyone when everybody is sort of faking it.

  • It scares me.

  • I did not have any any fear of guys okay, Ideally, you would stay healthy and show us what you do consistently and really it's for just when I say shows what he could do.

  • I mean from health and I know you do physically great scrimmage today.

  • Great practice.

  • Shooting the ball a swell Aziz ever shot.

  • I just feel like Loon can be such a good clear for us.

  • Given one.

  • He's experienced in the finals, given out smart, he is put it together from a health here in the last quarter of the season.

  • Get consistency from this body.

  • You know what you can expect.

  • And I think I would be really, really comfortable going into the offseason knowing that we've got keys and loon at that center spot with probably adding a free agent, you know, smiling to continue to develop.

  • That would be a comfortable spot.

  • Yeah, it's everybody.
