 management with the media. Hey Steve, you know, second night of a back-to-back, obviously you're missing some guys. Is this one of those nights where that combination of factors just kind of caught up to you? Maybe, you know, I don't like to make excuses. I just think we weren't sharp tonight. You know, it's going to happen in the course of the season. Offensively, we were a little bit stagnant and didn't play with the pace I think that's necessary. And defensively, we didn't take care of some of the details in our scheme. You know, it's going to happen. It's a matter of what we take from it. And that's a good team playing well with healthy bodies. And we just weren't ourselves tonight. Greg Logan with Newsday. You also have to kind of console yourself that during the regular season, you've got all these back-to-backs and can't play everybody. But it'll be different during the playoffs. Of course, you know, we recognize that, you know, the schedule is a part of this season more so than ever. And that's for all teams, not just us. So there's been nights where we've probably won games with the other teams in our position. So it's not an excuse. You know, we've got to find ways to adapt. And I think that's been one of our strengths this year. We've adapted and, you know, figured out ways to win games in different ways. Tonight, we didn't have our best stuff and we couldn't find a way to do it. And overall, we just weren't really sharp. And that happened. So what can we take from it? Alex Schiffer, the athletic. Hey, Steve, since we're not going to get you before you guys head west, I was just wondering if James, Bruce, Nick, who do you plan to bring with you and who might stay here in Brooklyn to rehab or ramp up? I'm not exactly sure. You know, I think some of those decisions will be made between now and taken off. But I believe everybody's coming. So, you know, even the guys that are out and rehabbing or, you know, in the Stay Ready group, you know, they'll all be coming. And we'll keep building. Christian Winfield, New York Daily News. Hey, Coach. Nirkage got you guys pretty good on the interior tonight. I'm wondering if that's the kind of profile of a matchup that demands more minutes from Deandre being him being the more physical big man that you guys have on the roster. And schematically, what can you do to slow guys down like that? It seems like you guys seem to have trouble with those bruiser-type bigs. Well, you know, if I'm honest, I don't think he beat us on his own. It was because we were trapping Lillard, and we didn't do a good job scrambling. You know, he didn't really post up tonight, but for a couple of times, it was more offensive rebounds or us late on our rotations. So, you know, I don't know that that, you know, was a byproduct of him being a bruiser and going down there and beating us up. I just think we weren't as clean with our schemes. We weren't as clean with our rotations. And he got too many opportunities on the go.
