  • Uh, whatever.

  • Um, your your first question, how did you phrase it?

  • What will it take?

  • Whatever is necessary.

  • It's simple is that if you want something badly enough, you'll figure it out.

  • Our group Extremely stubborn, persistent.

  • And we just need to figure out how to overcome this opponent on that We respect, uh, the quality, high quality of opponent that we're playing.

  • You got to figure it out and overcome it.

  • Mallika, you said after last game that you just didn't think it was a good example of heat basketball tonight.

  • Where does that fall?

  • On the line between heat basketball and very far away from here.

  • I'm not necessarily gonna grade it.

  • I mean, certainly it was a much better competitive disposition.

  • Our guys brought it.

  • Ah, and look, if it if it ends up being whatever it was 10 12 point game, then we need to make up 10 12 points toe.

  • Overcome that, you know, 13 14 points to make sure we get the win.

  • That Z That's what, uh, we'll get to work on.

  • Um, we have to figure out how Thio overcome this and get over over the top.

  • Tim Reynolds in the back.

  • Eric, I know you don't wanna I'm certainly not suggesting your gimmicky or anything, but are you taking enough threes?

  • Do you want to get to a place where you're even getting more of those up?

  • Especially early.

  • I do need to get to the film, Tim, but that that is a good point.

  • Um, you know, when we got it to about 10 um, several times during the second half.

  • Um, I thought we rushed some of those possessions.

  • We don't wanna play, prevent offense by any means.

  • But, um, execute a little bit more with poise and get the exact shot that we want.

  • And oftentimes that shot probably would have been, you know, some kind of three.

  • But it takes a little bit more patients and poise and, um, an intentionality to be able thio generate a few more looks.

  • Yeah, I think I would have liked a few more looks, but we had opportunities of future line opportunities in the paint.

  • Um, it was just some of those rushed opportunities when we had opportunity.

  • Thio get that thing to 10 you know, see if you could get that before.

  • Next question.

  • Anthony Chang, obviously with Goran and Bam out so much.

  • Fell on Jimmy shoulders.

  • Play 45 minutes.

  • Career high in assists for the playoffs.

  • What did you think about his performance?

  • Especially offensively?

  • I love Jimmy.

  • You know what?

  • We're all learning as a group.

  • Um, you lay it all out there.

  • Hey, is a supreme competitors.

  • You can't define him by any analytic or or typical, uh, viewpoint of how to play the game of basketball because he's going to compete and he's going to find different ways to compete, to put yourself your team in a position to win.

  • Um, and it was 45 minutes of everything he had and career high in assists on.

  • He's gonna have to get to another level.

  • That's that's the deal, Andi.

  • He loves that type of challenge.

  • And, um, when we have 48 hours toe, figure that out, I know it's less about schematics.

  • But after playing was also sparingly in Game one, what went into the decision to use it so heavily tonight just personnel that was available and knowing guys, we have to play a little bit of everything.

  • Yeah, some of its personnel.

  • Some of it.

  • Um, you know, it was a different look for our defense, but we didn't finish a lot of those those place, so I don't I don't think it really would have mattered.

  • Um, man or zone.

  • Um, there was probably 8 10 of those possessions where we just did not finish it with that next level of of commitment, um, which has toe Thistle opponent is going to require us to go there in the last question for coach bolstered Jared Weiss, Tyler and Kelly had to step into a much bigger role tonight with the injuries.

  • How do you feel?

  • Like that one.

  • Hey, there, big part of of who we are.

  • Regardless, Kale got obviously a lot more minutes.
