  • Just what?

  • The group overall in the in the last six or so in the in the fourth quarter to get the win defensively when it was time to get stops, we got stops when we needed to.

  • That's the most important thing.

  • So obviously still a lot to correct.

  • A lot to get better at, but, uh, he's not gonna win.

  • Tim MacMahon.

  • Hey, James, what do you think of your first look at playing with John Wall in the dynamic with you, too?

  • Hey, was extremely aggressive making place defensively, getting after you looked really, really good.

  • Especially not playing in almost two years.

  • So, um, just once we get a rhythm and guys get into their roles and find out what you know, the best fit for the team will be even better.

  • But I'm just I'm happy for the last six minutes when it was time to get stops, we did.

  • And now offensively, we be executed.

  • Zach Allen.

  • Hey, James.

  • Great win.

  • Um, how are you able Thio start to give off slow, but then capitalized towards the end by by coming through with your team and making big shots toe win this game for a quarter, you got to make shots.

  • This is a make or miss league, and it was time to go in the game.

  • You know, teammates did a really good job throughout the course of the game and making shots, and, you know, taking the lead and creating really good offense and then try to put my footprints on the game.

  • Mark Berman, James.

  • How cool was it to see the team give the game ball?

  • Is Stephen for his first win?

  • Amazement has been doing at a high level.

  • Um, you know, for a very long time.

  • You know, obviously, this year is the first year as a head coach, and so, you know, way you had a lot of pressure on, you know, on two person games I just had before we get this first one.

  • And now let's see how many more we could get.

  • Jonathan Fagan, James understanding.

  • It's just three games into a season with everything that's gone, this team has gone through the last couple of weeks.

  • Sacramento again.

  • It was very, very difficult to be the same team to time in the road.

  • So we know how important it is to stay locked.

  • This they focused.

  • Like you said, It's the third game.

  • So we got a lot more.

  • Ah, lot of a lot of work to do.

  • But, you know, I think everybody decided Adam swollen.

  • James, you had possessions where you would set up in the corner.

  • You had one where you set up on the block.

  • Is it a focus for you to kind of set up in different areas of the floor when you aren't running the offense?

  • Yeah, because a good job, you know, putting in positions now, not always on the on the basketball, but just, uh, off the ball and and scoring positions.

  • I'm always a scoring threat, you know?

  • So John did a good job and get a really good job.

  • And even our bigs is a really good job of making really good place.

  • So, um, first game with all of us together.

  • Like I said, we're watching you better.

  • Are there areas that you point to that?

  • Those are the ones you feel like this team needs toe build upon offensively.

  • Helped you?

  • How much did you notice it out there?

  • That it's not all on you.

  • Yeah, they did a good job.

  • They're aggressive about the course of the game.
