The imperative

But look, like there are a lot of times throughout the game and guys airplane in mud.

What do you think contributed to that overall?

What do you think contribute just overall execution?

Uh, well, their defense was great on dumb.

You know, it wasn't our best night, but, uh, we just got outplayed so simple as that move onto the next one.

I think he's doing OK, but we'll we'll we'll have an update tomorrow.

Next question to John in the front row in right.

What in particular made SIAC, um, and Gasol so effective against you guys tonight?

I mean, he was hitting shots from everywhere.

You know, he had been struggling from the three point line in the last couple.

And, um, I think, uh, actually, I'm wrong on that.

He had two threes, but Gasol, we left a couple times early in the game and didn't rotate way just gave him a couple of dare shots and and he knocked him down.

So you know, there's gonna There's gonna be some openings Those guys made their plays, made their shots.

Biggest thing for me was our transition defense was just awful on bats.

When you played Toronto, you have to, uh, I have to take care of their transition and we gave up 24 fastbreak points.

You know, guys, you're gonna make shots, Miss shots, we're gonna have good games.

But it's kind of the, you know, the key points that you can take care of that that are the most important.

That transition last row on the right side to Tim's Steve Tim Reynolds with the A P.

I know you guys have been through long breaks before and without credit to the Raptors defense, of course.

Did you feel like rust was in any way a factor for you guys tonight?

Um, you know, So if we had won, the story would have been that we were well rested so that we lost.

So we're rusty, so it doesn't matter, Anthony.

Would you think of DaMarcus in his first game back on?

Is there a possibility you're thinking about maybe increasing his playing time?

I thought DeMarcus did a really nice job, Made some great passes.

Um, you know, it's so early in the process for him.

I played eight minutes and, um, I thought his minutes were good, but it's a huge adjustment to play after a six week, seven week absence, especially at this level in the N B.

A finals against a team that that's pretty fast already.

We'll look at the tape and we'll see what we decide to do with his role going forward.

Left side, Tim, Cal Poly Steve, Tim Kawakami, the athletic.

Over here, you played against these guys.

But was it a little bit of a shock to the system.

You think for your guys offense lead to play against that kind of length?

And do you think maybe you figured some things out or found some more space as the game went on?

Well, I think that, you know, the biggest thing coming in is we really didn't feel like we knew this team very well.

Obviously, we only play them two times a year, and this year's team is is different with Kawai and the to meetings that we had with them.

A lot of guys were missing, including Kawai in Oakland.

So it's It's going to be really good for us to have a game on tape where we can really pick it apart and see what we can do better.

I thought we made made a good effort in the second half, got back in the game.

Our guys did some good things but made too many mistakes to actually go ahead and win the game.

Second row Steve Video coach Michael Pena, Espy Nation kind of jumping off that question.

Does Toronto's defense pose that you haven't seen in this postseason run?

And even in the last four vitals runs that you've been on?

Um, I don't know that I can sit here and compare them to every playoff team we've played, but they're very long and athletic.

They're tough, they get after you and, you know, they play well together.

I think there are actually a lot like our team, you know, they can switch guard, different positions in that sort of thing on DE.

Danny Green's three at the end of the half contested right in front of their bench, was a big one.

Siaca made a three out top right down the stretch.

So the game went from, I think, to afford to 10 at the end of the half and then they made a couple other big ones in the second half, so give them credit.

They deserved to win and we got to play better.

If we're gonna we're gonna beat him left side in the back on the side.

Early on, when they were kind of, they were not giving Clay any open looks, and they were really sort of making life difficult for Steph.

How much does say Kevin Durant floater or a Kevin Durant spot up?

Jumpers changed that offensive dynamic that point for you guys, Um, again, I'll go back to my earlier answer.

It doesn't matter until he's out there, So if he's if he's out there, it's pretty good.

We play with guys we have and we've got enough.

But you play with the guys who are healthy and you go, so we'll see what happens.
