 I thought we had two bad stretches at the beginning of the third quarter beginning of the fourth quarter Those are the two bad stretches and against a excellent team, you know, our margin is very small, you know and especially on the road I would say the other Thing that the kind of kind of irks me has given up 35 free throws like you know So we played hard we competed but now we got to add the you know Understand how to play without family. What's the big thing you try to communicate to your team as the difference between winning and losing close games like this Yes, we had our opportunities. There's no moral victories. We had our opportunities You know, there's a few things we could have we could have made a few more plays quite honestly both offensive in defense It's such a it's such a fine line between between winning lose, but I liked our execution. I thought our defense was Much better than it was the other night, so there are a lot of positives a lot of things to build on from this game In the third quarter and then didn't play down the stretch of was there a particular reason for that like the group that was in there I thought I thought gt was I liked it Garrett temple on Donovan Mitchell. I love that matchup. I wanted to keep that matchup I thought TP was playing well. It's just a feel I thought we're slugging out with them and Just a feel no disciplinary thing or he was you know Except for maybe talking to the referees, you know too much, but the coach does that too, so 15 at halftime I mean did you get divided it kind of took their foot off the gas a little bit coming out of the locked room in the third I just think you know, they were gonna raise their level. That's that's just dirt When you talk about Talented team and you know excellent team and it's eventually I knew adventure I don't know when it was gonna be but they were gonna get back in the game I mean they're too good. We knew that our guys knew that we're prepared mentally. They just You know they came back and then it was nip and tuck and and they made a few more plays and we did Of course coach, but where do you feel your team is 10 games in? Would you see we are where we are we're four and six seven and we're we're below average. That's just you know Yeah, no, I think there's positive things I think there's things to build on but you know I think our defense is gonna improve for us to take another step, but you know four and six is four and six that did you know this this league is is Unrelenting so where we are below average. I think our guys understand that and we get a You know, I do think we're building something with the new group. I do I don't feel like You know, we don't you know, we're not together. I feel good about the group. I feel good about our press process I feel good about our system feel really good about our players, you know These are these are tough games in Utah's the Denver's on the road, but I like the way we competed Holding a team under 30 in the first quarter you did that tonight Just what would you see out of the gate that that was lacking the past few days? It was just a point of emphasis I think Garrett temples to help that, you know, he you know him on Mitchell I mean he's got having a veteran guy that they can defend like that is huge So I think that really helped but I could think our guys were locked in to Understanding that we weren't getting a job done and they got the job done in the first quarter They that gave us a chance and really I think we gave him nine free throws in the first quarter I was like man if we were to help, you know, no free to your it's a 20-point quarter So now it's defending but defending with a little more discipline I think you won't use it as an excuse But then Kyrie seemed fatigue did all to you laid down the stretch listen We are relying on him a lot We've you know and and that that's that's just I know he loves that responsibility But we were relying on him a lot. We're playing him a lot of minutes You know, that's that's part of the job description. He he embraces it. He doesn't shy from it. He wants it I think everybody, you know when they're in Utah, it looks it looks a little tired, you know with the elevation and stuff But listen, he had really good looks, you know, and sometimes they go in sometimes they don't Unfortunately tonight didn't go in and and go bears. Listen, he's fantastic at the rim like you just have to give him credit He's crafty. He's smart. He's he's ferocious at the rim that you know So now you're gonna take a maybe more jump shots and you like but he made him he had a couple of great rim protection plays on Kyrie at the end there The jazz defended Kyrie Surprise you guys tonight because you got Royce O'Neill and then Joe Engels ended up on him for the whole fourth quarter Well, I thought Royce, you know talk about tiring him down Royce. Yeah, I know that was mission number one Right like that's tired. Let's get the let's cut the head of the snake So I understand the tactic I understand How it is and and you know credit to them for for doing that Straight the double doubles do you see him starting to find his form? Yeah, he's finishing better rebound and better Just yes, he really really took two good games that bodes well for for the future if and when Kairis does come back. I mean is scaling Kyrie's minutes back at all Is that something that you just tough where we are right there especially that Kairis tonight? There was there was no I didn't feel like there was another rotation we could go to we needed his ball handling out there and and trust me You know my philosophy. I've never been you know love playing guys 40 minutes. I just don't think in the long term That's a smart thing but we're in a situation right now where where he kind of has to play those minutes and But but it's definitely something I have to consider and and understand that You know, we can't play the guy 40 minutes. It's just just not it's just not smart Yeah, no, and that was that's the original plan, you know and and You know, I think Kyrie's around 34 right now little under 34 minutes a game So it makes it easier when Kairis is back. Would you like in that second unit? I have to ask you about both guys But Claxton and DeAndre on the floor at the same time and then what you got from me, sir It's a little unique, you know playing those kind of two five men together and we got to do You know, like I said with with with Kairis out We kind of wanted to try so I thought Musa was really good, you know That could be, you know, like I said before the game, you know, these are opportunities for these guys, you know Some players are born out of situations like this. So I Thought it was I thought it was really good. You know, Musa's not afraid like he He's a lot of things about moves, but he's not afraid of the moment He he he kind of relishes it quite honestly, so I love his spirit love how he gets after
