 Yeah, we want to win we want to win every game we play you want to win a championship every year just like every team So the last game the season you lose But the beauty of our profession is we get up and we get up and keep going you know we Everybody on this team is Works extremely hard. They care about the game So you know we get ready for next year Brian Lewis with the New York Post Hey Kevin, I'm curious. Hey, you guys were logging a lot of minutes to stay in this game and to put your guys put yourselves in position to win How much do you think that workload played a role in I think one of 12 and shooting in overtime? Was that a matter of fatigue or something else other other than that? We got a good credit to the Milwaukee Bucks. They're a great great team who got a good chance to win a championship Um, the story should be about them and how well they played the series. How will they play all year? You know we We got good looks there over time We just didn't knock them down but respect to Milwaukee Bucks and how they prepare how they Challenge us all series and made adjustments all series. We got done with respect for the ball club Bruce back NBC New York Kevin you gave everything you you could in this series you you put this team on your back There's does any of that temper the hurt that you feel right now? Not at all. Who cares? Alex Schiffer the athletic Hey, Kevin, you got a lot of big baskets from Blake and Bruce if you could just kind of speak to what you saw from both I'm tonight Yeah, I mean they made shots towards when we needed it. Oh, they got us got us up to a good start I Had so much fun playing with Blake and Bruce, you know, I make the game so much easier for everybody. They You know physical presence is in Bruce being a 6-3 guard 6-4 guard mix it up in a pain like that Blake Coming off so many injuries and giving us is all starting for us at the center and a playoffs You know, I got a number of respect for those guys and it's a it's a joy and honor to take the quote with them every day And if I could just follow up I mean it with the two the crazy season like this, how quickly does your mind shift to next season or do you give yourself a break after the Wild however many months it's been with all this I don't even know. I wasn't even planning on losing. You know I'm saying so I don't even know how I'm gonna feel I'm always thinking about our team and how we can get better and And what we could do individually, you know, just wait for Oh to take a few few days off Greg Logan with Newsday Kevin Steve commented after the game about the sacrifice that everybody made and the character they showed When you look over this season, what will stand out about it to you, you know As you look over all the adversity that you faced I mean every team went through adversity this year and I respect the whole league for how they just You know everybody every player in the league going through pro covid protocols every guy that's been injured Who played in the bubble and came back for a quick turnaround? You know guys have been in and out the lineup throughout the whole league all year and we still put a show on for the fans I'm just proud of the league in general and especially our team Because I'm in here every day, but I'm sure other teams have been through the same stuff that we've been through throughout the year So I'm just I'm just proud as a league that we got guys that Come out there and play great basketball every night We put a show on for the fans and to play off every team. So, you know, it's one of those things where We dealt with this season and we took a hit on and everybody just were professional the whole year Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News Hey, Kevin, I know you guys like to say next man up But you know when how much does not having Kyrie and then not also having a healthy James Dictate what you guys are able to do out there on the floor. Oh man, we Is I can't even speak about how much we miss Kyrie out on the floor and how much we miss James start the series and you know seeing him I could go for 40 minutes on both of those two on how much they care about us and how much they put their bodies on line Help us out as a team Kyrie had a gruesome ankle injury and he was thinking he was thinking about, you know, when is When could he play next and that shows that he cares about us so much James Playing on one leg came out there and gave it his all 48 minutes in game five 40 last game And then for 50 tonight, you know, there's no more respect and love for those two guys We missed them out there, but we still had a chance to win Back to Brian Lewis Hey Kevin a lot of Contenders like Milwaukee like Philadelphia had a cohesion edge because they were running it back I'm curious. Whatever you guys are feeling now, whatever pain you guys are feeling now Is that going to be something that's going to be able to fuel you next year when your guys are running it back? I mean, I think every guys few by they they get there they bring their own juice every day I mean, of course the loss is gonna be tough But we got a few more months until next season a whole year to the next playoff So, I mean, we're gonna be thinking about this is, you know, next few weeks But as we go on to the next event we start to get into the thick of the next season We got it isn't it's a we got to turn the page and guys got to continue to keep getting better individually I know continuity is a huge thing in our league because Jams owners they move players all the time but for For us we try to you know get with each other this summer keep grinding and come back next year You know Connor with the New York Post Kevin that final play of regulation can you describe making that shot? Did you think it was a three-pointer when it left? And is that really the ultimately the even in defeat the most memorable shot of your career? Not not even close to the most memorable shot I thought it was a Tracy, but I was I was at my big asphalt with a step on the line I was just seeing the little screen shot how close I was to end the next season off that shot But it wasn't in God's plan and we move on so it was a solid shot, but I had way bigger shots
