 Sometimes you have to give credit to a team and they get really hot, but I think we just gave them a couple you know He's too easy of looks to begin But I think it's it. I think it's I think it's in It's hard to put one thing to it. Honestly, it's hard to put one thing to it But I'm honest. We just got to be better. We got to be better. We got to find a way learn how to Make teams do things they don't want to do is one of the key things to defense in this league Because your reality of it is in the NBA guys are really good and they can score you let them get to their spots They're gonna score all day. You let them shoot the shots. They want they'll score all day. So we just Just got to continue to get better man continue to chip away and learn and grow and use these as lessons You know, sometimes you just got to go through things I'm just got to go through them head first and you know Live with these results and and go back to the drawing board and you know be better from it I really think the main thing is gonna be just defensively I think that first game against Philly was really solid So it's it's you know, it's just shows you that nothing's ever a perfect process you know and just I Think there's times against Atlanta against Milwaukee even tonight where we were doing what we wanted to do in defense and and you know Playing the way we wanted to play Like I said before I sound like a broken record But if we continue to cut down on on those those bad stretches cut down on those runs that these other teams are making on It's just it's chunk You know as chunks of game where you pull that pull that out then it's a different story but when we learn to manage that better when we learn to Communicate guard Understand better which we will The results will be a little different It's a little bit of everything and sometimes these these things are hard to verbalize in just a couple sentences here We got to go back dig into the film see exactly what is going on See exactly where our rotations need to be and like I said when those become second nature the defense looks different And you know, it's I know that it's tough. I know it's tough I know there's been a lot of points. We've allowed these last couple games, but I still Believe in this group. I still think we have the town I still think we have the defensive capabilities to be where we need to be and You know, I I speak for myself But I also think I speak for the whole team and that we're gonna attack this thing head-on and continue to work To be where we got to be What do you mean by issues You know the main objective is to stop the other team from putting the ball in the basket And there's a lot of different ways to accomplish that. There's a lot of different ways And I just think you know the more we play together the more we understand each other Just naturally the better will become like I said I feel like there are stretches of the game where we're doing what we need to do doing what we're supposed to do and We're getting out in transition and playing fast and playing free So I think that'll take care of itself. It's so it's so stretches that we need to Look back and understand why they're happening. What's going on? What type of shots are the other teams getting and I think in doing that, you know We might find a trend over these past couple games on this is how teams are getting going and maybe just putting more effort into Understanding how a team can go on to a run and and and you know defending them accordingly Tonight they got guys hitting threes across the board And we're caught in rotations so some some part of it is just stepping up and guarding and being better with that that is that is for sure but You know, they were they're a little too comfortable and you can't let a team get too comfortable You know what we're competitors, so is it's it there is an element of Suck to it where it's just like man, we don't want to go out and lose ever like everybody feels it Everybody feels it deep. We're sitting on the bench You can you can feel that there it's an it's an unsettled feeling because we want to be better Because we know we can be better because we know we have the talent in our room to be better But I think that's just gonna motivate us to attack these these days You know, we're talking in a locker room and It's gonna it's it's we accept the fact that it's gonna be different You know, some teams are hitting their stride finding their playoff push and you know, we're we're Learning each other in a way, but I think we're just gonna have to to bear down and and and Figured out together and like I said, I mean I've There is a sense of enjoyment and playing with this group, you know It's guys that I'm you know I'm just meeting and and getting to play with and understand their games But you know, I enjoy playing with this group and I think there's something to be said for that You know, I think there's something to be said for for being with a group of guys that you want to compete with And I think that's where it starts just competing On paper when you guys happen to train online you have your profile like a team obviously with a lot of wings a lot of guys Yeah Sense that you guys are just surprised by these defensive struggles I actually do I and I it's a good question because I actually do it is a surprise especially Philly barely got to 100 the first game and there has been some regression statistically Some of these teams are just hitting shots, you know And sometimes you got to give credit to them But like I said earlier, that's when you got to step in and be like what kind of shots are they hitting and how can we make them take Different shots, how can we make them do things that are a little more uncomfortable for them? But yeah, and it's not something that sits well with our group because we know we should be at the very minimum a very good You know top of the top half of the NBA defensive team
