Because they're saying you only get one chance to make a first impression.

And if that is true, what's the first impression that your team made on you tonight?

And did you expect this game to reach the intensity level that it reached?

Is that it's unusual to have a game like that in number one, but the moment they made the schedule, it was almost position, like a prize fight in a lot of ways.

So no matter how much Frank and I probably tried to, you know, this, um, once the game starts, it was all thrown out of the window for the most part, my impression.

I guess what I saw on our team is just overall team toughness, you know, they hit us with a punch, Um, you know, to start, right?

And we just kept moving forward, you know, it's like, Okay, we took it and kept playing.

I thought our ball pressure changed the game for us and the rebounding for us.

Um, you know, they're big and they dominated in the preseason on offensive glass.

And, you know, I don't know how many times I saw our big fighting the big and our guards coming over and tapping the ball on keeping you alive.

Hey, Coach, can you talk about more heartless Mo Harkless and what he brought to your team?

You know, a while ago that, you know, we're joined by Paul and Co.

I, um and I thought no one noticed that we added Mo Harkless to our team as well.

Um, you know, he guarded multiple positions.

It allowed us to switch a lot defensively.

I thought, the four spot in general, all three of those guys contributed for us.

Especially when they make when Patrick Patterson make shots and Jermichael make shots and Moken switch and play defense and we play him at the three for most of the game, it gives us another dimension.

Pretty efficient tonight, for the most part.

I guess Lou being Lou, you know, uh, he really is, You know, it's funny, you conceited Him and Kwai are about 10% had learned how to play with each other.

There's so many opportunities that they couldn't see yet.

You know where they can play off of each other.

Ah, but you know, they're so new to each other, you know, Um, so that's one takeaway.

You could see that that areas the Kawai Lou trails little action.

When Cho I hit seven shots in a row, What kind of impact do you think that had on the game turning?

Mo mentum and the degree of difficulty shots?

You took him out with about six months following the plan.

Yeah, you know, I don't know if it could have been worse time, and he makes seven row and I take him out.

Ah, but we had you know, we, uh we wanted to keep him in that little minute stretch.

You know, it's a great sign of leadership in a lot of ways, you know, Were he created to run for us on everyone else joined in.

He talks with his game, you know, uh, and I think that's the way it should be.

Patrick Beverley tied the game in rebounds today.

I thought that one of biggest plays the game was the office rebound on the free throw.

You know, it led to a three point play when they were making a run.

You know, we just he has so much grit, you know, in him and fight.

Um, he actually believes he should be rebounding, which is that's just pat.

Really bothered you guys 1st 678 minutes of the game.

What kind of adjustments did you see offensively with the guys that much.

I just thought it was the beginning of a game.

I don't know if they're Atlanta, just how we're playing, You know, um, you know, once we got the pace back in our favor, it didn't bother us as much.

Oh, this is I didn't have a loo a coming off or trips, for that matter.

Um, this this this bench, um, I said to you guys this morning or yesterday I think this bench is just gonna be really good, obviously.

But I think they're gonna be better this year.

Didn't even last year because of the addition of mo, You know, in his ability, we can get so long with that group and we can protect loom or defensively because we have more guys that can help him out.

So, um, Luen Trish, you know they have bad thing.

I mean, they know how to play with each other, and they know how to get other guys involved.

Can you talk about the team defense in the fourth quarter?

After the 1st 8 minutes of the game, I was pretty good.

The only only down part for us is that into the third, you know, they took LeBron off the floor and they made a run on and they made it run with three point shots.

We triple team guys on the post, so we lost our discipline a little bit in that stretch and it burned us.

So film wise, that'll be some great for us to watch because those are the things that can happen.
