We just say we just stay patient and stay rooted in what we got going on.

You know, it's big changes that have happened in the last a few weeks.

So we just take our time.

You know, we know what the outside world expects of us.

That's gonna happen.

You know, those ups and downs gonna happen one day were great.

Next day we're not.

That's just the luxury of being in a great business such as this.

And I say that very sarcastically.

But I'm grateful to be a teammate with these guys, you know, and we continue to develop.

And that's why that's why I'm looking forward to amongst players.

What's the communication like in terms of the changes you want to see collectively defensively, Just effort, man communication, mainly main things effort in communication.

Two things we can control.

Mallika Andrews with ESPN I read.

You see the on the defensive end, this is something and get your building a little bit of game in a time where you guys just need toe flip a switch effort wise on the defensive end.

We know that won't work.

Is flipping a switch?

Um, you know, So we gotta take these games and take them as seriously as we can in terms of learning.

Um, and we can't use our experience.

We just really got to take the time to zero in on what we want to accomplish.

And, you know, we're playing shorthanded as well.

Just trying to figure it also, with all that being said, we just want to stay focused on the goal.

And every day is is used as progress.

So that's what our goal is every day.

And we don't wanna be the flip the switch team.

We don't We just wanna be the team that's consistently dominating, and we will get there.

Brian loose with the New York Post.

Okay, uh, considering that you're not going to get a lot of practice time, I mean, Thio actually be able to sit there and dig into this.

I mean, how do you accelerate this process when you're basically on Lee getting an opportunity to do that in games?

Figure it out.

It's the NBA.

Go figure it out.

I figured out use these games is time to established things that we want to get better at.

But like you said, practice, um, time is very limited.

So we got to do it.

You know, we got to do what we gotta do.

Christian Winfield with The New York Daily News Hey, Carrie, what's what's the process like?

Just kind of learning where James likes the ball, what he's like as a playmaker when he likes to score and balancing that against your instincts and when you want to attack versus Playmaker, I think I'll have a better answer for you when we all were all out there.

And I just don't wanna make it two players specific.

But we want to compliment James's best we can, and I'm me as a guard out there with him.

That's primarily my focus, and I want him Thio being a great rhythm for the rest of the game.

Um, and our our team needs it.

We need it.

So whatever we have to do moving forward like I said, this was to humbling losses, you know, way coming to Cleveland.

Way gave away.

You're not saying gave away, but you know, the trade happened and we're playing against, you know, guys that know us very well.

And and they added value tonight and they added value the other night and rightfully so.

And Cleveland played well.

They play with a chip on their show.

They had something to prove, you know, definitely would have enjoyed a win on my tribute night or, you know, a night coming back.

But that didn't happen in Collin Sexton was a hometown hero, nothing but proud of them.

And he played well.

And now we lost tonight's game back to back.

And now what are we gonna do?

Nothing.

Nothing more but to pick ourselves up out there as competitors go home, talk about it now we play in less than 24 hours.

So I'm looking forward to the challenge with my teammates, and we'll just keep going.

Keep pushing, man.

Nothing's gonna be perfect.

Its's long, right?
