Um, he already probably have a statement from TV, but regardless, the Lakers set.

You know, the tenor, the tone, the forests of physicality, Um, you know, for the majority of the game, and and they just took control and we weren't able toe get it back.

First question here in the room.

Tim on the right.

Eric, you've been through a lot of these, and you know that Game one is it's often a feeling out game.

And I mean, I think all three of the times you guys have won it.

You've lost game one.

But can this be a motivating point?

Can this be just a wake up call?

A dose of reality of how would you it xcom It's high level competition s so you have to do things with force and detail.

Um, and you know, it's a cliche, but every single possession counts.

And, um there, you know, there's too many possessions.

Where is either poor offensive possession or miss, uh, that led to or a couple poor possessions defensively or vice versa.

Um, and you know, those stacked on top of each other.

I can get away from you pretty quick.

Quickly against a very good team like this were much better than we showed tonight.

Uh, you do have to credit the Lakers and we'll get to work.

I'm really sorry for the next one.

Malik Andrews.

Eric, could you just walk us through?

It appeared so Goran left with 604 ish left in the second quarter.

When did he exactly hurt himself?

And it looked like he if he did on the Rondo play, he stayed in for a little after.

Maybe to tell you what was your collection?

We don't I don't know.

You know, Right now, I know he's as tough as anybody on.

It's the finals, but I don't have an update.

You know where he is on his foot right now.

No.

Next question.

Ira Winderman.

Eric, we have talked about this before.

Was bam's injury just went from today, or is it exacerbating something that previously was in place?

I don't have that answer right now.

Um, and then we'll just We'll reevaluate them tomorrow and see where we are.

And then to follow up just on Anthony Davis is never a good matchup.

He's so unique.

You put a big on him.

He goes to the perimeter.

You put a small on and he goes into the post.

Can you take us through your thought process with Jae Crowder and sort of the What's the what's next approach with Anthony?

Yeah, we have 48 hours to figure out what the next plan of attack will be.

He was extremely good tonight.

We have to be better.

Next question.

Jarrett.

Twice they were able to kind of think the ball in and out to get to their corner.

Three point shooters.

How do you balance being aggressive on the ball without getting caught in the back?

Yeah, we're better than we show tonight.

Now, this is a very highly skilled, talented team.

They have guys at the point of the attack on James and Davis.

Uh, that are going to break your defense down.

Uh, can make plays over the top.

So you have to be on a string and you can't start to make things up.

You have to be extremely disciplined and on stay with it.

There's too many times that they got us out of our typical things that we do.

But that's also a big time credit to them.

Tim Reynolds.

Eric Kinda to that.

Well, it was somewhat they did sort of have you chasing it at certain times.

The last time I looked, they were like 21st in the bubble in three point shooting.

Just how much that just catch off guard The fact that they could make that many that quickly.

Yeah, you know, you don't want to leave anything to chance in the Finals way.

Clearly have to just be a lot better, you know, War of more resolve, more commitment, more multiple efforts, more communication.

All of these things, more trust way have to be much better on that end.

Then offensively way also have toe generates a better looks.

Next question.

Anthony Chang baseball.

I know it came came late and with the Lakers already holding a big lead, But how encouraging was it to see Kendrick play the way he did in that fourth quarter?

And is that something you could take moving forward in Siris?

Well, it z you always rooting for him.

This'll has been tough playoff, you know for him and you know these air the human side of it.

You want to get him in there?

You want him to play well, Andi, based on you know where we are.

You know, we could use some scoring punch on.

Do you have to guard him?

And he's very skilled.

Um, so we'll see where we are for the next game.

All right, Rob.

Anyone else on your end?

I've got one last one from Tab to Port days.

Hi, Coach.

Your coaching, Many MBA finer games on.

Did you know how hard can be these three Siri's?

What is your message for the thing after losing tonight?

I don't have my message right now.

Ah, but I've got a night to figure it out right now.

It doesn't really matter what you say it's And when we get to work and get together tomorrow, all right.

Thank you.

Thank you.
