 Spencer, you guys will now take on the Wizards for the third time already this season. What do you remember about those last two games that allowed you guys to have the success that you did? Just coming out, staying focused with the game plan, having a certain intensity and effort and you know if we can get them out of transition and keep them in the half court, they're a much different team and you know then we have a chance to win. When you look at the way you guys have started the game I know that's been a topic of conversation. What's the style of play that you think this team needs to play at when it comes to right off the tip? Oh I mean I think we're starting phenomenal players and you know Cam Cam and Mikhail in terms of you know being able to really score a ball and do some very dynamic things for us. I think just overall as a five-man unit we just have to get some more stops and if we do that then you know we really like their scoring prowess take over and we have a chance to be a super dynamic five-man unit. Has there been in your mind a common denominator and the defense of struggles from that unit to start the game? No I wouldn't say there's any certain style I would just say that like overall we just have to be more attentive to the game plan, start faster than we are you know and then obviously in terms of the big guys and things like that keep them off the boards which you know I tend to have like the bigger guys are just fighting them you know the stewards and the market ends and the bank caros and KDs and all that stuff so. As I said I guess the way these are going now with this load management and rest how do you feel about just the way the conversation has been as far as you know should guys rest should not guys rest as someone who obviously plays this game it takes care of your body just how do you feel about where the league is going with that now? I mean every NBA team has sports science departments I think we have one of the best in the NBA obviously our job as players is to prepare ourselves and take care of ourselves to be able to play every game and then their job as sports science people is to you know try to look out for our best health for the long term and you know for this season and hopefully to play offs and into our career so it's just a mixture of both and you know we're all trying to you know win games at the end of the day when the when the most games during the duration of the 82 game season. And as players obviously you guys want to play us on it those conversations happen how difficult is it you know you want to play but maybe the team says that's interest. Yeah yeah I mean again I think we're all grown so there's a certain level of conversation at the same time I mean we are still technically employees right so like your boss tells you to do something you do it and it's not you know unless to complain I mean or anything like that it's just we just do our jobs at the end of the day and I think we have a phenomenal group of hyper competitive guys that want to win every game but also just want to do our jobs at the at the best level that we possibly can and you know that's why our unit is the way we are. As a veteran who clearly takes care of himself and works hard to take care of his body have you noticed over the years that there is there's a different dialogue with different players in other words maybe younger guys less dialogue with older guys that know their bodies better there's more dialogue of course but that that comes out to an experience fact I think in any job like if you've been in a job for five ten twenty years then you get a different level of I guess a conversation that's more ask versus more tell you know I mean versus like let's say a rookie for example I remember my rookie year after I had to be at every practice two hours early and after every practice after all the extra work I still had 99 99s where they put 90 not literally on the clock because that's the maximum time you could put and then I would work out by myself against coaches you know I'm saying and be there two three hours after and you know treatment maybe if I was really feeling broken but that might be one every four or five days versus you know you get older they ask you you know what lifts you want to do and different things like that's more conversational so that's just a product of experience question about just Nick Clarkson and Dagon sharp when you see the progression that day runs me what does it like to have two bigs play that type of position and the way that they're able to kind of be so versatile I think it's phenomenal I think it's two different looks Nick is rangy has some of the best feet in the league can play both drop and switch day Ron is a little bigger body and shoot right now the best rebound in the league right so two two different guys to bring two different dynamics but you know make our defense in our in our anchor formable have you seen day Ron just like grow as a group of the team like not just when it comes to on the court but off the court as well when it comes to just him finding you know being more vocal as a group with the team I think it's dope to see him you know being more vocal understanding different schemes asking questions just blossoming all the way around he's he's a very talented kid he even showed you can hit a three you know I mean so there's a lot that day Ron can do and you know I said it's in training camp like we had a specific game where we kind of skewed the rules to rebounding and try to you know spur more rebounding from our unit and he was basically LeBron James in that in that specific game so and he's showing you guys every night is a guy that's been around here for years I mean have you noted similarities and I mean this team's found a couple guys centers I'm going all the way back J.A. and Nick and now day-day bottom of the first round we've taken and developed into really solid players I mean have you seen similarity and their ability to do that to find these guys yeah I mean that track record is immaculate their ability to develop late first round big sis is obviously there J sign for 100 million Nick should and you know day runs probably a little bit more murky just because his game may be a little bit less sexy than those two but like he has a ton of talent and like I said he starts knocking down a three ball then you know you're sorry you're talking about like drumming with a jumper you feel me so like that's that's a pretty dynamic type of basketball player and so you know I hope he gets everything that he deserves as well. With Dennis and Dayron and Doe and Royce like this bench unit seems like they they bring an extra energy when they're on the court like when you're playing with them do you just sense a different energy from them like just their motions or actions it's just something about what they bring to the court. Yeah they're high level guys in terms of energy and defense and anytime you're getting stops and stifling another unit any any bucket that or a string of bugs that you can put together really kind of breaks just because they know they're not gonna come down and get a easy one so you know when you have those type of defenders out there it just really stifles the other team's offense.
