 Kevin when you look at this one What would you say? What's the difference maker and what happened in this game three-point shots? Same thing they shot 42% from the field overall But you get high from three. They were shooting deep threes too. So They got it going they got it going I mean This is my language, but it's just bad night. How would you just describe the defensive effort that you guys showcase? And what needs to change from that? I was just Individual defense one-on-one defense. I think we've given up a lot of easy drives, which is putting us in Scram that situations and giving up threes We got to be more tight on the ball on our point of attack defense Guarding the point guards guarding the shooting guards feel like a lot of backcourt has been giving us problems So we got to do a good job in the interior and I'm a perimeter if you want to be a good team Kevin, what would you say the mood was in the locker room post game? What you think? We lost three games or four games in a row. You want us to be excited about that? Yeah, of course, we're pissed. We enjoy basketball. We like to win though So of course when we lose the game, it's not it's gonna be a somber move in the locker room You know, but well it'll change once we start playing some good basketball. We got a lot of basketball to be played at us Kevin you said multiple times about playing other teams that maybe on paper don't appear to be Contenders or playoff contenders, but those guys get up because they play against you guys Does it still are you guys still frustrated to lose against those teams or do you chalk it to you know? Team gets out. I know some some of those players you had Tyrese coming up shooting threes over contested ends And got three guys. They hit five plus threes and they were hot Buddy Hill Tyrese and Benedict Mather They're good players though. All of them will get a hundred million dollars So like regardless of the expectation or What they look like on paper? They're individually good players and then they got some more that were hurt tonight So, yeah, it was Tylen in this league and we can't overlook anybody Obviously the mood in there was somber. I'm curious was there did Steve have a particular Message for you guys or was it more player driven whatever discussions were going on? I won't give you any discussions that we have in the locker room. We should keep that in between us and Secondly, I mean we've been sitting here before with this discussion about the particularly the perimeter defense More than once I'm curious is at this point. Are you concerned that Steve's message is not getting through with this? No, I was on the individuals We got to take pride individually Coach could do so much Tell you what to do. We're not playing for us In the day, you know, no coaching matters chemistry all that stuff matters But to end of the day we individual so we got to be better as it is individuals And then we'll bring that to the group and figure it out But each guy's just got to dig down deeper and just be better. That's just what it is Kevin you've been in the league a long time do meetings help? We're in constant communication all the time if it's a schedule meeting or not I think we all talk about what we need to do as a team every day So regardless if it's after a loss or it's looked at as a meeting But we always have that we always in constant dialogue about what we need to do as a group So I wouldn't say it was anything special Speaking of the group. Do you think anything that's gone on with Kyrie recently with? What he posted and That class he's faced from it has impacted the group at all. Absolutely not only Impacted you guys and everybody outside of the locker room Kevin you only had three four shots in the first half Was that just anything they were doing to you defensively or another emphasis? No, I just felt like I was there to provide space and be a Floor space in the first half. I felt like we got good rhythm going I mean if we were up ten points in that first half We they hit some threes to cut it there in a second quarter, but My four shots don't matter. We were still winning the basketball game playing solid defense You know but in hindsight after you lose the game is gonna need to turn back, of course It looks bad me only taking three to four shots, but I Don't think we need I need to shoot every time for us to be a good team
