Frank's talking about this season.

Now.

You guys are using 10 or 11 guys and it's kind of working on different lineups.

What do you think the balance has been with going to the best units that you have that, you know, like the closing group versus, you know, keeping on experimenting and trying to get everybody comfortable?

Nothing is all about matchups.

It's about retaining that we're playing, and I think that's really it.

I mean, we got 12 guys who can suit up forces and give us, um, you know their best any given night.

And I think it's really just depending on matchups, to be honest.

And I said, When you're when you guys good deep border on a bench, yeah, uh, you got a team asses, you know, very deep on the bench, then.

Oh, you know, it's a good problem to have, but, you know, it's a little tough on culture.

Try to find guys in the rotation, and sometimes guys get lost.

But, you know, we all know that we got a lot of guys who can play.

And so you guys ready when their number is called?

What do you think of your own performance tonight, then then what?

The biggest difference waas in the game and how affiliate built the lease.

If you guys cut into eventually, um, way had cut it to two and we missed three shots Mark had in and out.

Kenny had one know that when and now I had a short baseline jumper that I missed.

And I think me while I don't think I know.

Me and Brian missed four straight free throws down the stretch.

Um, I was terrible from the lines of 95 10.

Um and so I mean, that's really I mean, Joel got to the line early the first quarter way gave a 34 point quarter, first quarter.

I'm kind of that's up down a little bit, you know, for the next three.

But they're 21 points in a fast break, um, category.

And, um, other than that, I think for the most part, the game was pretty even.

Way gave myself a chance to win the game.

Uh, you know, just needed one stop, you know, to march with a tough shot.

And the team is nonsense.

That was well, it was not that one at home.

Um, undefeated.

Enjoy All play.

So good matchup, Forest.

And no way could have want if you said you guys did a little bit better job as the game went on matching up with Joel.

Do you feel like if you face this team and, uh, I guess it would be a final situation because they're in the east.

You have the personnel to deal with a big guy like that, considering that your center position you guys kind of got smaller in the offseason.

Yeah, I think we dio you know, like I said, he got to the line a lot.

He had 13 free throws.

Um, you know, we take those away, just, you know, knowing that he likes to sweep through and get files.

No, he's looking for contact to get to the free throw line way.

Take those away way.

Let me help those toe started.

13, maybe five.

Um, you know, I think we did a pretty good job with our hands stripping down on them.

Make them take two shots getting steals.

So I think we had a good game plan.

Um, Frito kind of got him going, and, um but I think our I think our lineup in our group that we have a very capable of being the same in a seven game series.

Kyle, Um, a D You're five or 10 from the line tonight.

Um, think about 71% on the season, which would be your lowest percentage from the free throw line.

Are you worried about the free throw shooting?

Do you?

Are you feel like it's just sort of something that will come around as the season goes on where you're at with that?

No, I'm not worried about it.

I mean, uh, music up there and split it.

I missed two tonight on, then made the final two, you know?

So it's at this point, you know, just all mental.

Um, you know, there's nothing I'm really worried about.

We continue toe, draw fouls and get to the line on have confidence in my work that I'm gonna make the free throws.

Um, you know, but a lot of pressure on myself.

Thio make free Does, um, to make teams pay for filing on.

I haven't been good at that this year, but, you know, it's something that I'm not too concerned about.

Last question Dan 80.

The on the broadcast that looked like you were kind of grabbing at your knee a little bit in the first half.

Can you tell us what happened?

And then I guess, secondly, just sort of, you know, 19 games into the season, like where you at physically and tryingto get get, you know, into the shaping rhythm that you wanna be.

I had a little brush burn on my knee from the court.

It was like bothering me on my types, just rubbing against it.

So I just tryingto put them tights off off of it.

Um, but I feel physically fine.

Feel fine.

And, you know, you have loan season to go.

So they're trying to stay, you know, physically ready for every night.

Coming off a short off season.
