But just how disappointing was it to come out, then?

The imperative

Just have them set the tone with that nine.

I know it's just a couple of minutes, but it just seemed like when you start playing appeal against that team, that's not really not really a recipe for success.

Um, you know, we we you know, you got your you got your coverages in your and your things you're gonna do at the beginning.

And we just We just missed him early, right?

We were just a Ah, step too slow on on just about everything.

And I thought we, you know, I talked about before the game how important shot contesting was.

And I just didn't think we settled in with some space and gave him confidence early.

I mean, we didn't We didn't do either thing very well tonight.

I mean, we didn't do much much Well tonight, obviously, the way the game went Nick down.

Yes, uh, before game one you'd mentioned Ilyasova is a guy that can make sort of winning plays.

How big of ah thumbprint did he have on the game today?

He took a couple charges, but he wasn't the only one off the bench.

And really, um, you know, we're were when we kind of clawed back with bad start.

We kind of got it for, like, 14 9 right away.

And and then those guys came in and really took off, I think.

And and that's, um, Brogden again, I thought had a great start to his game.

We weren't nearly as good on the honest Tonight he was.

He was in the paint with a little too much force.

With the athletic What are you hoping that it's changed?

A senior you can do based on just how this result came?

You take your fighting uphill and never could break through Yeah.

I mean, I think, um, you know, we got we got a hope that, uh I mean, we did.

We didn't play very well tonight, and ah, we did play pretty well in game one.

Um, you know, when they've they've done what you know, they're supposed to do and protect their home court.

And we've got to go now, do the same and and get ourselves, you know, back in the series.

But it's got to be more of an effort, like like game one than tonight, Because again, we were We were just a pill for almost 3/4 tonight.

Speaking of that start where you guys have always seemed to answer calls and respond with effort.

Didn't seem to be there from the start tonight.

Um, I was you know, I'm always surprised when you don't when you don't start the game a little bit better, right?

Especially, You know that they're at home and they're gonna come out with an extra pep in their step.

And, you know, we all we talk about that a lot like a You know, you gotta we gotta really focused on getting our defense set up at the start cause it's gonna be extra fast, you know, they're gonna become an extra fast with the with the, you know, home court and the excitement and the energy that everybody has to start the game.

And, um, you know, we just didn't do a good enough job of getting ourselves set up, and we just again, I think I mean, I gotta look at it.

Begin what it felt like to me and what I was telling him in the time outs as we gotta press up more on the shooters, right?

We want his own one time and got a stop, and we came down the next time, and it was late in the clock.

And, um, Mirotic's had one in the corner and Mark went out and contested him.

It was a good contest, but it wasn't a full out contest.

We know the level of contestants gonna affect these shots or not.

And if you don't go with everything you got on and jump high and and really try toe, you know, let him know you're right.

Pressed up against him, then the chances of going into pretty good.

There was several around the court where we were kind of there, but it just wasn't enough, right?

And I was continually asking us to press up harder into bodies and make him bounce and do something else other than just shoot over.

Ah, slightly contested three go Chopin did with The New York Times.

Uh, I was wondering in the third quarter, you guys cut it to 13 near the end, has a little had a little momentum there.

Is there anything particularly mass trash trying?

Is there anything that you saw tonight that you like that you can take with you going into game three?

I mean, I think again, going back to some keys to our Siri's is we've got to continue to work, you know, the offense for shots, right?

And again, um, you know, sound like a broken record up here, but we had our share off wide open shots that could have that could have Ah, you know, at least stymied.

A little bit of the of the break out in the score.

Um, but we got to make sure we continue to work for him.

But But listen, I thought again we would just We just weren't quite physical enough, right?

We weren't getting on our screen set good enough.

We weren't getting them off their screens.

Um, and we're gonna have to be better, or they're just gonna They're just gonna look bigger than stronger than we are.

And I don't necessarily think that's the case.

Did that just happen, or was that a concerted effort to get them touches?

And how difficult is it when those guys aren't going for you?

Well, it made it pretty difficult, right?

And, um, you know, again, some of that's designed and some of it's happening again, the way they're playing especially, you know, with Mark, you know, You know, they're They're sending Lopez to the to the paint to the rim all the time.

So Mark's gonna have his share of opportunities just because that's, you know, with the way the spacing lines up.
