Past simple

I think that that has affected the way you played either last game or this game.

To-infinitive

You had several turnovers tonight and didn't seem to be in rhythm offensively.

I think I'm a pretty smart to figure it out.

You know, obviously you need repetition, but at the end of the day, I gotta go out and do my job tonight.

I made a couple of mistakes that I gotta fix.

So you've talked to last throughout your career about how much you feed off the home crowd.

How much will you guys need that on Thursday?

Uh, so I'm excited, Law playing home, You know, I expect out.

Win or go home s So we got to get that war, Jimmy.

I thought I heard you told tell a teammate in the lock around.

Is that kind of the message from a veteran who's been in a lot of, ah, a lot of situations like this.

We just gotta going endure is supposed to do in the home for that's it.

Keep competing people hard, stick together, have each other's backs and know that not one player on our team gonna be able to do about themselves.

Joel's won't ask you just how how hard it's been just last couple days and how much pressure you're putting yourself to deliver for the steam.

How disappointed it's been that you have been in play at the level that you used to.

Um, you know, uh, I know I gotta do a better job for us to wear.

I got to do the little things when I'm needed this, call the ball.

I gotta do a better job rebounding the ball.

You know, you can control my physical condition, but I can also going through a lot much.

I try to do that, but I just gotta do more.

So playing so well the whole season, this pulses and it just about I mean, I got a smile on the court.

You know, I shouldn't care about offending anybody.

I just got to be myself and just know, really can just do whatever I wanted.

And at the end of the day, that's how I don't need, uh, you know, if you see me smile, that means some dough.

I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, and I intend to be doing that in two days.

Joel, when you were subbed off in the fourth quarter, like the fans kind of like did the airplane celebration that you did in Game three.

Did that bother you at all or did you even notice it?

They heard that we're doing my good for them.

Like I said, like I just mentioned, you know, I don't care if it off offense.

Anybody about what I do eyes all about having fun eso I don't care on.

I'm gonna do that because I know I'm going dominate.

Joel, Uh, Jimmy said in the locker room when he spoke to us that they ride or die for you.

That there behind you, no matter what condition you're in, is emigrant easier for you Toe fight through something like this knowing that your teammates have your back like that?

You just see that you don't feel well and you don't really feel like playing.

And then you start thinking about, you know, guys like Jimmy, like, you know, always pushing me like saying that type of stuff.

Xing, you got my teammates checking up on me.

It doesn't matter what type of condition.

I mean, you just shows me how much support I got on, You know, I know that it doesn't matter.

I know that my presence on the court, no matter what I'm going to if it's not scoring the ball, I know that I can't help so much more just by being out, there s Oh, I don't point.

I just started thinking to myself, I'm like, man, I the support I get, You know, he's incredible on.

Uh, you know, it's hard warming to, and I just tell myself I'm not, man.

And just like that, always telling me man is all is all about 2.5 hours, Three hours, Just trying to get through it, you know, on That's what I'm going to keep on doing.

You may be saying something to drink about.

And do you expect to be back on Sunday for games?

Uh, you know, uh, you always start me to shoot the ball on, uh, you know, uh, gonna file ways that the last two games that be throwing a lot of double and triple teams on me and I got to find a way out of it on Just be myself, You know, quick moves.

You know, such queens form toe buys heart band.

 And it doesn't matter which way we going, do everything we can.
