Steve came in here earlier here and really his main talking point was the lack of discipline defensively, particularly reaching in and committing a lot of fouls that he dearly didn't agree with.

Past simple

To-infinitive

And how do you aim to fix some of those glaring issues?

I think some of the stuff that we can control in terms of it's being mindful of, you know, region and, um, you know, committing those fouls that you know you shouldn't.

And in the league, obviously, guys, we're gonna make tough shots.

It's what you're paid to do on good offense.

You always beats a good defense, but we have the capability of being using our length and speed and size across the board.

Thio do what we did, I guess, against San Antonio.

Just make make him take tough contested shots and if they make or miss, you know you keep the flow of the game going.

But I think we started off in the first quarter setting the tone of fouling and then that changed the whole game in terms of how the rest we're calling it on both sides, to be honest, but we, you know, mocked the game up by Let them just go to the free throw line over and over again, setting up the defense.

And, you know, when we're at our best, you know, make or miss were able to push it in transition and push it, you know, on the other end and create easy offense.

So on that plays well into what the Knicks try to do, knowing that there very physical team that likes to play in the paint.

So, um, it's a recipe for disaster against a team like that.

Was your perspective on the dream on ejection?

He's been very vocal, you know, with James, and I know he had already got a check early in the game and obviously mindful of that.

He was just talking to his teammate, and rest got confused.

And I don't know what the rules are in that situation when it's pretty clear what who he was talking to, Um, and I don't know if you could take it back in the moment, but it was pretty glaring that he was talking to his own teammate and kind of unfortunate that it got confused.

So move on, Steph, What does it do to a team?

To have a guy like Draymond wrongfully rejected and, you know, it was a mistake.

And but there's nothing you can do about it.

And I was like I said, I don't know if you could take a tech back in the moment if they realized they made a mistake or whatever it is, but, um, it didn't happen.

We had, you know, whatever 34 or 36 minutes left in the game to try to go win it, and we didn't get it done.

So, um, you know, just a tough night all the way around, coming off a really great performance against San Antonio.

And, you know, this is one that we wanted to build Momentum.

It's gonna make Saturday, you know, even more fun to try to get it back on the right path.

Steph, what did you guys not have when Draymond left?

I mean everything that he provides in terms of his experience on the defensive end, even his playmaking.

So, you know, we were moving the ball pretty well, considering the pace of the game with all the foul.

And so, um, you know, kind of a weird just not all way around in terms of the the flow overall flow of the game and and obviously him, you know, getting ejected and then come back in the second half in different rotations and lineups.

And it was kind of all over the place, so obviously no excuse for how he started the game on the defensive end, Um, giving up so many free throws.

But, you know, we were pretty competitive.

I think they just they play well in the second half.

So it's not all you know what we did, but, um, you know, just a tough game all the way around A lot Thio kind of harp on in terms of what we didn't do.

Well, obviously you've been with Raymond for a while.

His reputation and the way he talks to officials through the years, factors into how younger officials officiate him in games.

I mean, the reason you're asking that question.

But that can't be part of how you officiate the game.

I mean, we're all grown men out there, and you have to be able to ref the game that you're roughing in that moment.

So, um, I don't know if that played a part and how tonight went on Lee.

Only he can answer that question, but again.
