 People in the crowd would be policing, saying get this knucklehead out of here. All right, let's hear from Kyrie Irving and his thoughts after this game one loss. All right, I should, same question, I just asked, Kevin, what have you learned over the course of your career when it comes to playoff basketball, when there's a game like this that you lose late? What have you learned that'll allow you to hit the reset button? All right, well, you look at where you have some positives and try to carry those over into the next game. And just really just cool down. Give yourself a chance to reflect. It's kind of crazy we got to come in here and answer all these questions right after a game like that, but it's just part of the business. And just look at your teammates' eyes and tell them that we can get them next game, steal one here on their home floor. It's gonna be tough, obviously, but we're both for it. And we did some good things tonight. Some things that we could definitely clean up on, clean up on is the things that we can control. They're offensive rebounding. Limiting the one shot, one possession. I feel like that's what really gave them some life towards the end of the game, was just getting those offensive rebounds and making some big plays. But being up three with 45 seconds is obviously not safe when you're in this building. So it's just part of being in the playoffs and being on the journey. Yeah, 39, can you take us through what all you had to navigate through and all you had to block out to be locked in and have a performance here? It's the playoffs, so there's a level of efficiency that you want to have throughout the possessions that you're able to play in a game like this. So I was just really zeroed in on what the mission was, what the goal was, and that was just to play our best basketball whether in the storm, deal with ups and downs, know that they're gonna make runs, we're gonna make runs and be able to respond. Come to timeouts, come on to timeouts with the execution mindset, have the same mentality, just rest at the end, not in the middle and just live with the results. So. And, God, this is a two-pointer. What was your vantage point on that last play where they push it, it's not a smart fine stadium? Yeah, I came over to help and there was already somebody doubling on the ball. It was 10 seconds left when I saw JB catch it. Derek White pushed it up to JB. And I just thought we had a good time to really settle the ball, but I thought JB was gonna go up initially and he passed it out to Marcus Headfaked and dribbled in between the lane then I was left with two eyes on the backside so I had to make a choice and JT made a spinning layup and that's how I saw it from my vantage point. And it looked like there were a couple of times where you gave the fans the finger. I'm curious, was there anything that you thought crossed the line today and are you the kind of guy that gets motivated by kind of going back and forth with the fans, you kind of use that internally as something to fire you up? Look, I mean, I'm just, where I'm from, I'm used to all these antics and people being close nearby. It's nothing new when I come into this building and what it's gonna be like, but it's the same energy they have for me and I'm gonna have the same energy for them. And it's not every fan, I don't wanna attack every fan, every Boston fan. We're the ones expected to be docile and be humble and take a humble approach. Fuck that's the playoffs. This is what it is. I know what to expect in here and it's the same energy I'm giving back to them. It is what it is. I'm not really focused on it. It's fun, you know what I'm saying? Like again, where I'm from, I've dealt with so much. So coming in here, you relish it as a competitor and I'm gonna keep repeating myself when I say again, but this isn't my first time in TD Garden. So what you guys saw and what you guys think as entertainment or the fans think as entertainment, all is fair in competition, you know? So if somebody's gonna call me out of my name, I'm gonna look at them, show it in the eye and see if they really bout it. Most of the time they're not. Like the hostility that you get still. Let's not focus on this. Like ask me questions about the game. Like it's not about the fans. The fans aren't playing. I'm from a basketball standpoint. Yeah. Do you feel like the hostility you get? There's no hostility, bro. It's basketball. What do you feel that some hostility? From what? What point? Are you guessing that that's hostility or like hostility for me is like growing up? Well, we've never seen that from you this season where you are running down the floor or flicking people off. It's the first time you actually caught it because it's a big time game. I respond in different ways. You know what I'm saying? I'm not trying to focus on that. If you want to ask me questions about the fans, go ask them, go on the street and ask them questions. I'm asking from your perspective, from basketball perspective, do you feel like the hostility that you get? It's not hostility, bro. Do you feel like the energy you get from fans in this building? Embrace it. You got the best from you. Embrace it. Embrace it. It's the dark side. Embrace it. I know you said you wanted the Celtic fans to move forward. Do you feel as if that could ever happen? I don't care at this point. Let's just get to the series and talk about our possessions and how we can get better. Not gonna focus on the past with Boston. I'm on the Brooklyn Nights. I'm happy to be with my teammates and competing out there. Gary, two quick questions. What contributed to the 15-2 run that they went on in the start of the third quarter in your office? Just a lack of focus on our end, just starting off the third quarter, watching some of the film on the games that they're playing against the top teams. They really come out in the third quarter and try to put their stamp on the game, create that separation that way they can just pace out the game. So moving forward, we just got to be aware that when we're coming out in the third quarters, they're really just gonna put the foot on the gas pedal.
