Could you take us through that?

That last play where?

You know, White came up and looked like he was trying to follow him.

And I assume that, uh, what you thought was happening.

Yeah, he was.

I mean, I assumed you were about our child.

We want around.

No, it's known for following in those situations.

He had his hands out, and I also knew we didn't have any more time about stuff.

So, like that boy, you know, it's just held the freedom.

So, uh, you know, if I should have held onto it and just took five, uh, and later turned into a free throw game.

But it is what it is are mhm.

Dream on.

What's the instant reaction to that for you in your head?

You know, when when he doesn't end up fouling and then they get it back toe, run out the clock.

And what do you say?

Did you say anything to your teammates after that, or did they say anything to you when you guys were getting back on defense?

No.

Um oh.

I say I felt like that was smartest.

Dumped.

Play booster E.

Most people won't see that kind of put 22 together of what's actually going on there.

That's what.

Very smart.

Why That ended up being Donatell.

Hey, man, how do you balance the fact that you guys are developing the team at the same time trying to win?

And so some nights are gonna be frustrating?

How do you deal with that?

Um, just kind of go through your frustrations on, um, So I come out of I'm on the other side, but, uh, I'm not gonna sit here and act like you don't get frustrated.

I was holding frustrating.

That's just but it isn Nobody's trying to say, Of course.

Try to be understanding.

Uh, it's just wall with questions.

So when Steve says he's playing the long game, you get what he's saying.

Yeah, I definitely understand what you're saying.

You can't play a short game.

Uh, long season and short game doesn't know justice.

Eso you gotta play it on a or Yeah, Well, what What is it?

What's this like for you this year?

I mean, you had obviously the rise of the dynasty last year.

Pretty much right away.

You knew what that season was gonna be this year.

You know you guys air 12 and 12, it's win one.

Lose one.

Win one.

Lose one.

What's what's this roller coaster been like for you?

E.

I wouldn't say it's been necessarily much of a roller coaster as far as basketball, because I think it's been a rollercoaster.

More of a roller coaster.

Often floor, uh, that then assed faras basketball those, uh, you know, as far as has been 12 12, I think we definitely lost some games that we shouldn't want.

You know, you gotta try to figure out you know, how to win those games that she was supposed to win.

Uh, you know, on that hopefully calls from time and growing and playing more together.

Uh, but I don't think this has been much of a roller coaster on the court, you know, Boston Games.

Once again, it's fun to play with me around eso Hopefully, winds will come.

You know, they'll start to pile up, but I won't say the sea for husband.

Much of the roller coaster as far as basketball Vermont.

Why do you think you guys have struggled so much through the years in San Antonio?

Uh, well being that that's probably good, the most orderly, best organization over the course of the last 20 years, as far as consistency goes, and being that there they played, they played very well at home.

And that is a group that no, no matter what, no matter who's on for that team is never gonna beat themselves like that's just which you kind of know going into any time you're planning and pop coach team, they're not gonna beat themselves.

And when you're at home and you're not gonna be yourself, that kind of gives you an upper left, you know, you get some things at home.

They turned the ball over.

They play to the crowd and get doing stuff that they can't do.

That's not that group.

And so you know, when you make mistakes, they punish you.

They make you pay for your own road.

I don't care who you plan The team punish you when they make mistakes.

When you make a mistake, there's gonna be hard and 100 0, so that goes into of success, that they not against us.

No, of course it is in this building.

Jamon, could you predict when Pop was goingto call a time out and kind of clampdown on the momentum that you guys have.

Are you already walking back to the bench?

Because, you know, I don't really pay much attention to it, But if I'm watching the game, I could tell, uh, you're in the game.

You kind of feel with time.

I was coming, especially with Bob.

No, it's not something that on the floor you just have to think about pops one time right now on the run.

No, stop.

Yeah.

Dream on Chris Albert from ABC seven with the nature of the season and playing back to back like this, are they Do they feel like, little playoff series?

Making adjustments and trying to get the wind less than 24 hours from now?

E getting the opportunity to essentially right your wrongs, uh, come back and try to get a win or another win A In my case that you're in the first one.

Uh, you know, I've seen some benefits in it, You know, um, I mean, to be quite frank with you, rather enjoyed it.

Uh, you know, having these kind of two hands and this city back to back, I think?

Uh huh.

You know, in these crazy times that we're living and I think the league has probably found something that would be beneficial, not just, you know, while dealing with cold and stuff.

I think this is a pretty good thing that I'm moving forward.

So, uh, well, it's been it's been pretty cool and also gives young guys out of an opportunity to taste.

What playoff basketball.

It's like where you're up against a couple of games in a row.

That's what is going to key in on what you did love the night before and the things that you didn't do well.

You got the opportunity.

Oh, correct those mistakes and take advantage of whatever situation it ISS that could be beneficial for us.
