I mean, there's a lot thio online.

Um, but if you just want to cut to the chase, it's a very difficult call on a loose ball that becomes a jump ball.

Um, that, you know, they get a time out on, especially because in the exact same situation, um, I was trying to call a time out when Brad had the ball at the top of the key.

Um, when they forced the jump ball just prior to that, um so given that the exact same thing happened back to back, um, only we actually had possession of the ball.

Um, when when I tried to call time out on, then watching the replay after the game.

It's a loose ball, you know, balls, the balls actually bouncing on the floor.

Draymond dives after it, uh, in my estimation, should be another jump ball.

Aziz for the technicals.

Draymond can't do that.

He knows that Hey made a terrible mistake getting teed up and giving them a chance to shoot two free throws and time again.

How long, Screamin?

Postgame!

Excuse me.

How was Dreamin Postgame?

Did he say anything to the team or to you?

That's That's that's private.

You how?

Uh Let's go quickly to the beginning of the game is kind of an odd night.

But Steph leaves with about five seconds.

Believes the court with about five seconds before tip.

What led up to that?

What happened here?

He's not feeling well.

Yeah, he's going through his usual warm up routine and just did not feel well at all.

And so he came back in.

Uh, I saw the Charlotte team doctor, um, went out, tried toe, try to warm up and just wasn't.

Wasn't feeling good.

And so we made the decision training staff and staff on I.

We all made the decision.

Thio not playing, So we'll see.

We'll see how he's doing tomorrow.

Is it just dizzy?

I mean, I know it's it's he's not in health and safety protocols.

It's obviously something that was concerning.

No, there was.

There was no, there were no, uh, protocols in place is just him feeling sick.

Got coach Mark Haines.

Um, we're starting the game without stuff.

Did that kind of throw you guys off a little bit?

Well, yeah, of course.

Way.

Our offense is based on on staff.

Obviously, our pace everything else.

So it took us some time toe, get our feet on the ground.

But once we did, I thought we really competed well and did everything, um, necessary to win the game.

Um, you know, way thought we competed together.

Uh, I thought we defended well, we let let rosier off the hook a little bit late with unopened three.

And then you got hot.

Made some incredible shots, will give him credit.

Steve, just to follow up on the dream on situation at the end.

There we talked.

I feel like for years you always trusted him.

He knows where the line is Not to cross it in this kind of situation.

Do you Do you talk to him again, or do you just kind of let things play out knowing that I'm sure he feels bad.

That what he did?

No, of course.

Aziz.

Coach, it's my job to communicate with him and with the team.

So that's what you know.

That's what we've done, and that's what we will continue to do.

But he crossed the line.

That's the main thing way.

Love his passion and his energy, and we would not be the team we are without him.

But that doesn't give him license to cross that line.

And he knows that.

Did the officials He was because he spiked the ball down.

Or what was the explanation on why they gave two technicals instead of one?

Uh, well, I didn't have time to ask all that.

We were sorting through the game and trying to figure out how we were gonna play it with the jump ball coming.

Um, so it happened pretty quickly, and once he got tossed, you know, we we were scrambling just thio just to get along in the game and try to get the jump ball organized.

Steve, on the topic of calls that play where you bray went up for the dunk.

It looked like it got tipped.

Why didn't you decide?

Thio challenge?

Uh, that one can't challenge a non call.

You could only challenge a call.

Yes, yes, yeah.

Just Steph.

Stephen trying along with NBC news radio e.

I know it's tough moral victories, but again, just given the way you guys battled now you could take that Teoh on to New York.

Well, it's tough loss.

Obviously, they don't get any tougher than this one.

Um, you know that that's two straight back to back.

Really difficult losses.

So, uh, that z my job.

Thio, get the team organized and emotionally ready.

Thio play New York and we'll keep.

We'll keep moving forward.

That's that's That's what you dio en NBA season is is filled with a lot of ups and downs.

And, uh, obviously this is a is a really tough one, but got to get ready for the next game.

The coach William Hammers with sports fans rap.

Do you anticipate, uh, Steph playing, uh, against New York?

Hopefully, we'll see how how he's feeling the next couple of days, right?

Do anything more specific about about Steph's, uh, illness?

Was it just like any nausea or dizziness or No, I don't have anything more specific.

We'll have an update tomorrow.

Okay, next now.

Steve, were you able to get a feel for the locker room?

I guess, the mood and just how guys took it after back to back losses like this, and especially the way we came down tonight.

Well, if silence gives you any feedback on what the mood is thin, I would say the mood was was down.

Nobody was saying anything.

Yeah, that's that's his tough as it gets that lost right there.

So there's not gonna be a whole lot of energy in the locker room after a game like that.

Guys played, Their ass is off.

I've said it many times.

I love coaching this team.

I enjoy working with him.

They compete, but we've got to get better.

We've gotta learn how to close games.

Our execution has to improve at both ends.

You know, I thought we got a little lazy, their offensive execution kind of walking the ball, the floor, not playing with pace the last couple of minutes, and then defensively, as I said, we let our guard down a little bit and and they got hot from the three point line.

And, uh, you know, we've got to figure out what it means to close games.

It is just, you know, at both ends what that means.
