After a game like tonight, can you just tell us a little bit about how just how good the three of you have been and what we need to get to that all frigging together?

We've all been consistent.

Uh, obviously, being personal is also helps, You know, for, um, candidacy Thio all the all stars, but we're winning way are doing They're doing it as a group, and we all deserve a chance.

Next question comes from Bridge Hoffman.

Hey, Joelle, you guys, Tobias makes that shot.

But you guys did struggle down the stretch of that game.

What is that?

Just you guys kind of letting your hand off the rope a little bit.

What was the contributing factor there, Eyes on me.

I missed a couple of shots.

I just I just didn't have the lack.

Not because I was tired, which I wasn't.

But my back Tristan, allow me to, you know, dominant the way I've been doing, uh, in four quarters, uh, missed a couple shots.

We made a couple mistakes on defense that made a few threes on just like that.

That were up one.

I feel like we ask you this a lot, but you have taken some hard falls over the past week that that fall specifically when you were pushed by LeBron.

Um, well, that's well, first of all, that I mean, you look at it.

Uh, that's a very dangerous play now, gangs here that if it was may, I would have probably been ejected, uh, from the game which, you know, has happened in the past with make any flagrant files ready for nothing s o.

And when you compare that to the one that I got wish I thought I didn't really them hit him.

I didn't elbow them.

I'm not touching, but I don't think you he deserved the flavor.

Maybe if you don't compare those two, those are tough plays.

And I just thought, you know, should have been a flagrant two.

But it is your back.

Is it hurting you more than it probably has in the past?

Uh, young man, hopefully it's fine.

That that will be, uh, when I wake up in the morning.

See, I feels, uh, but I'm God.

I pushed through and I'm glad we got the win.

Next is Paul Hedrick.

Hey, Joe.

Just kind of piggybacking off of that.

With you and Ben and Tobias all seeming like you're kind of playing your best basketball right now, Does that kind of almost, like, just just give you a boost just to see how well they're performing?

And kind of how much Maybe special this seem to be?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, you look at games like tonight.

I thought I didn't play.

Uh, didn't play, what at all, Russia Under 50% from the film.

And I had a car turnovers.

I didn't rebound the ball tonight, uh, on you and we still got the win.

I just felt like I could have done much more.

But we've been playing well on.

We gotta keep that same mentality off.

You know?

We gotta win way.

Gotta win ever again.

But we gotta win gangs.

I worship.

Uh, you know, that last loss against Detroit was a bad one s.

Oh, those are the games that we should always win.

Thanks you.

We'll take two more, starting with Jackson.

Frank, you hear me?

All right.

We'll come back to Jackson.

Let's throw it.

Thio.

Bob.

Sean.

Thanks.

List.

Yeah.

Joel, along the same lines of what you were just talking about.

In contrast, is this game against the Lakers?

They were undefeated on the road and you snap the stringers.

That kind of add to the narrative of your maturity is a group this season a huge You got the best thing, uh, with the best record in the league and the defending champs on also in different on the road.

You got them coming into your building.

You know, you wanna Windows type of games.

And I just thought we did a great job.

We had a few lapses, especially in the fourth when we're big and way made a couple mistakes, but those ways are, you know, great.

And you know he's going to give us a lot of confidence for the next couple games.

It just really quick.

Docket said before the game he was praised you guys the way you they took close games out this season.

So, uh, to regroup the day, their ability to make a run at you.

Is that a tribute to how good they are?

No.

Well, I mean that we're the good obviously, uh, you know that God, LeBron James.

They got into the Davis and a bunch of other great players, and I just felt like tonight being up that big, especially because we've been so good in the fall.

Especially defensively, uh, that that should have never happened.

You just felt like everybody just relax that way.

Kinda let it going.

That just made a run, but they're really good, but it should have never happened.
