What's about the most to you in the fourth quarter?

Especially shots not following and the way that you guys were generating looks against Miami's d We've got some great looks and he didn't fall.

You just said it.

Um, think defensively.

We were very good, very in tune.

Connected.

Um, shots just weren't falling for Alex took us through that last sequence.

Just wondered what you saw from the imbalance past and how you were playing Jimmy up to the point where you made that decision.

Once Miami helped over on you.

Um, I felt like they were going to try to seal me over the top.

I was able to get a hand on the ball.

A c brought it up to me.

Um D h o to me, Jimmy and older Nick, uh, double me.

I went to a C and we missed shot days.

What's this time period?

Like, do you think for your teammates in terms of the, uh, the pressure, they may feel to try toe take on MAWR?

Considering there's no a d and there's no shooter at the same time, you know, Kenny and Alex both mentioned like they want to take some load off your shoulders.

They know that you're capable of carrying a lot, but they wanna be doing their part.

Um, what's that like for your team to go through that kind of emotion or balance?

Right now, they are.

They are doing, They're part they're doing their part and more every time we're on the floor, we're all trying to protect each other and bring each other up, not on the floor every single night.

You know, it doesn't matter if you're making shots or not.

You know, we are gonna hold each other accountable on everybody's just picking up in eighties absence.

And obviously, it hasn't been, um, you know, and wins last two games.

But, you know, we're gonna keep on working our habits on, continue to be great for one another am from the shooting over the last 10 games, even three injuries and is really tailed off.

Any reason for that or anything that you've seen, or is this just sort of over the course season?

There's gonna be highs, and they're gonna be close.

Um, I don't think it's any reason for that.

You know, I think our guys do a great job of being in the gym.

We all put in the work and you know, so it's not that.

I mean, if it was that we weren't putting in work, then you know that would be the reason for I could say that's a cause of it.

So you know, the law of averages even itself out.

And we had lapses last year.

At one point we had during the playoffs as well, and we just you know, we knew we were We would find our rhythm and we do the same issue.

Kyle Phil Berman, when he was talking about that last play kind of said, You know, I expected, uh, my defender to kind of follow off to me, and they would guard LeBron one on one.

Um, you know, is it perhaps just more of a consequence that 80 is not on the floor, that teams are more willing to w.

And you see other guys on the floor with you kind of adjusting to that new reality?

No, I mean my intentions.

When I came off that Diego was to let it go, you know, if they if they would have guard me one on one and Jimmy would have stayed back or older.

Nick didn't fight over the screen.

But, you know, for me, you know, when you you grabbed two on the ball and we had a great look to tie the game isn't over time a c had that.

I think the only bad thing about is that he shot along to, you know, I wish he would have shot a three and, you know, make her miss.

I live with that.

So brother in that, you know, he was good.

It was Good luck.

Uh, Melissa Last question.

Melissa LeBron.

Throughout your career, you've been sort of a master tweaking your game, giving each respective team that you played on what it needs.

Whether or a ball handling, more shooting, more defense, whatever the case may be, what goes in to think such a master tweaking your game And how are you so effective?

It, um, just, uh, understand open minded about, you know, whatever my teammates need, whatever the coaching staff need, whatever the personnel that I'm playing with needs at that particular time.

And, uh and I was just having a you know, you always having a growth mindset.

I think that's for for my game and not settling, not settling what I am or who I am at that point in time, being able to be able to adjust to my teammates, being able to just thio, I guess the coaching staff and assistant that we wanna play at that point in time.

So I think that's what it all boils down to.

And, uh, you know right now is another.

Another challenge for me to be able to adjust.

You know, not having a D for a long period of time or something that we haven't had over the last year and a half.

And now it's time for me to just again and see ways.

I could be even more effective to help this team win ballgames, because that's that's the that is the sport that we're in.

We're in the winning business, and I've always been a winner.

So, um, it's time Thio.

Click into that.
