 You first why was it so important to you and in your own words to push through and to play tonight? It's the playoffs and my team needed me. Simple. And secondly I mean how are you feeling afterward and do you plan to play in game six? I feel great we won. So that's all that matters. At this point it's you know My any means necessary As long as there's a W on that column and you know, we keep we keep reckoning when it's all that matters. So No Obviously Katie had unbelievable game, you know and carried us, but just Jeff, you know made some shots This is a great team went for us. We haven't really had You know We haven't really been together, you know the entire year We've had so many dealt with so many injuries or whatnot That you know, we really haven't had an opportunity or been through adversity, you know, so You know, we know that there's going to be times in the postseason, you know We hit adversity where things feel like they're up against us or Or they can't be done and in reality they can be done and We just got to find ways to get them done and you know We showed a little bit at it and at Boston series and then even this series is the same thing Like it feels like just when things are going well, it's something hit us and You know my my approach and you know to the god to the guys is you know keep fighting like it's it's always It's going to be great on the other side and and we we did that tonight. So uh proud of the guys Bruce back NBC, New York James will this be a game that that you remember not so much for the stats but for the heart that hardened showed tonight Yeah, I mean, it's not about me man. That's about the Brooklyn Nets and us as a team as a whole You know, I think individually we all have to do something and bring something to the table to to to win And We did that tonight, you know, so it's not about me. It's not about obviously Katie had an unbelievable game But I think it's about everybody else as well. And you know, like I said, Jeff made some big shots and Guys fought land. You made big shots on the stretch like it's a it's a total team effort and like we always preach is It's going to be no different guys, you know every single game But you know as long as we had that right mindset and we all for each other good things going to happen for us and Tonight, you know, they did Brian Lewis with the new york post Start I was asking how would you uh describe Kevin's performance and be for yourself. What would you at what point in the game did you start to feel like yourself? You know explosion wise mobility wise Uh Kevin's game was just I'm believe like like Like he was unfazed the entire game Like he just he was poised especially in that second half Like he started to take his time. He started to get to his spots and kind of like I seen kevin directing people to where he wanted them to be and Once kevin gets that like he's comfortable. He's in his own. It's like it's pretty pretty much hard to stop him Um And just we fed off that, you know, and so but for me, I'm just you know, I'm good. I'll be all right Christian Winfield with the daily news And james kind of piggybacking off of that, you know ten assists for kevin as well I mean you as the the de facto point guard on this team Are you able to kind of enjoy his performance playmaking for everybody else out there when when you're not able to yes Yes, because now his corn is unbelievable. Obviously He shot pretty efficient, but his playmaking, you know, once he got to the spots and The the second defender came over help. He made the right decision, you know, majority of the time if not every time And that's an improvement of his game right there and he's not just a score He's able to make plays and let the game come to him. Um And I mean, he's he's he's one of a kind Alex chipper the athletic Hey james, you obviously were ruled out yesterday and then ended up playing today If you could just kind of walk us through how you got to this point, you know, did you wake up feeling better or Woke up and was like, you know what? Let's go like it's not. I mean I tried to go out there and do the best that I can. Um Hopefully that I gave my teammates some encouragement some some life Um Obviously, I wanted to score the basketball and you know, do what I normally do, but it is what it is and we win And um, then we watch film get to get our rest and prepare for game six Like we said it, he just loves to hope
