The other situation.

Um, it's just so sad.

You know, what stands out to me is, um, just just watching the Republican revenge in our convention and they're spewing this fear, right?

Like all you hear Donald Trump and all of them talking about fear, we're the ones getting killed.

We're the ones getting shot.

We're the ones that were denied toe live in certain communities.

Um, we've been hung.

We've been shot, and all you do is keep hearing a fear.

It's it's amazing why we keep loving in this country in this country does not love his back.

And it's just it's really so sad.

My God should just be a coach.

It's so often reminded of my color.

You know, it's just really sad.

We gotta do better, but we got to demand better, like we got.

You know, it's it's funny.

We protest and they send riot guards, right.

They send people in riot outfits.

They go to Michigan with guns and they're spitting on cops and nothing happens.

The training has to change in the police force.

Unions have to be taken down in the police force.

My dad was a cop I believe in good cops.

We're not trying to defund the police and take all their money away.

We're trying to get them to protect us, just like they protect everybody else.

I didn't want to talk about it before the game because it's so hard.

Like, just keep watching that that video.

If you watch that video, you don't need to be black to be outraged.

You don't You need to be American and outrage.

And how dare the Republicans talk about fear.

We're the ones that need to be scared.

Were the ones having to talk every every black child?

What White father has to give his son to talk about being careful?

If you get pulled over, it's just ridiculous.

And it just keeps getting it keeps going.

There's no charges.

Rianna Taylor.

No charges, Nothing.

All we're asking is you live up to the Constitution.

That's all we're asking for.

Everybody, for everyone.

Thank you.

Okay.

You wanna go back to basketball?

Coach could have a follow up on that real quick.

I mean, there's been players from the rappers and the Celtics sort of way.

Do you play?

Not play.

You said how I think the way.

You know one thing I said, I think you always play waken fight for justice, but we still should do our jobs.

I really believe that because doing our jobs people are seeing excellence from from Americans, black Americans and white Americans.

So I don't I would still do my job.

That's just my opinion.

But if my players told me no would be no, I can tell you that, Um, it's when you watch that video.

It's sickening.

It's sickening.

You know that his kids were in the car.

How did they ever get that out of their mind?

How those kids ever normal and you've been in the spot deciding boycott boycott?

What would your message be to players who are in this situation weighing these kinds of questions from my messages Go after your dreams.

You don't allow anything to take you away from your dreams.

Uh, during a Donald Sterling Thing way.

Matt Barnes and Chris, Paul, D.

J.

And Blake and all those guys JJ Reddick.

They all pulled together, and at the end of the day, the one thing we decided when we were little kids wear in the backyard by ourselves and we have these dreams about winning the championship.

Donald Sterling was not in our dreams, and neither were these cops.

And so they're not gonna take anybody.

They're not taking our dreams away, all right?

And so that would be my message.

Thank you for your question.

You're off.

It feels wrong to go back, right?

No, it's what we do.

Like I should be talking about basketball on DSO It's what we do.

It was just You feel like e emotion.

You have about a big emotional week.

Landscaping.

You feel like that?

He really connected on that level two.

Yeah, way did all things well today.

Tomorrow we just played together.

We played hard.

We're aggressive and more importantly, like it is a human game when you make mistakes.

But we just had so few game plan mistakes, uh, that I thought it was It was awesome.

But it's one guy.

Sorry.

Next isn't area.

Yeah.

Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely.

Thanks.

Obviously, you said you weren't playing and obviously excellence back to how far is it?

Community.

What a game.

Planning in the playoffs.

Playing progress.

You know, it's because we have to like, um, our jobs our were basketball players.

We're fathers, We're businessmen.

And we should still be able to do our jobs.

But it's hard sometimes, like, uh, today was hard.

It really was for everybody.

Every team.

Um but I still think right way can't stop doing our jobs, because it's what we do.

And it allows us, honestly, three hours of solitude, like, you know, it does.

Once we on stage, we can kind of get in our jobs and forget what's going on.

Uh huh.

You know, so I think that's it.

Thanks, Dan.

Oh, yeah, but, uh, kind of along the solitude lines.

I think Trance played five minutes in the first quarter or something like that.

You might only have two points, but the way you read it in when he came on the court waas a genuine You seem really happy.

That strength?

Yeah.

What did you like so much about that?

You feel like kind of finally looked a little bit sort of like himself.

I told him I was proud of him because I think he had two points, right?

But he made a difference.

And I think you know, trust is still young, right?

And So when you when you come back, you're not in great shape.

I think you put so much pressure on scoring that you forget who you are and tresses energy player that can score points that can do everything.

And, you know, he just needed that.

So I was just happy that he helped our team without scoring.

And that's what I was telling can.

Hey, Coach, I appreciate that passion that you that you just convey there, and I think that's what the your players played with tonight.

Get that big.

I want stuff.

If you could expound on when you had the first have that conversation with your son about driving, being, say and kind of fidgeting with that as you mentioned, some other people don't have to have that conversation.

Yeah, basically, when they get their driver's license, all of you know, uh, you know and you know, I have a nadav child.

Um, you know, you just you just share with him.

Be careful.

Um, show your hands, be respectful.

You know, it's funny, though, even through that, sometimes you still get shot.

So, um, I don't know.

It's just it's just really tough.
