 out for a rest day. Let's hear from Joe Harris. Hey Joe from your view your view how do things get away from you as a team. I mean I think it was a multitude of things you know I think initially though it starts on the defensive end you know we only scored 24 points in the quarter but and we gave up 37. A lot of it was I think the defensive miscues probably led into bad offense as well and it was something that you know it's addressed at halftime and you know our sense of urgency just wasn't where it needed to be to start that third quarter. At the moment you know your size is your size you know the guys that you have out there the guys that you have so what will it take to see improvement you know on the defensive side. I mean it's tough because we don't have a ton of practice time or really trying to put in a lot of stuff on the fly but I think a lot of it is just individual pride. I think sort of everybody tool man has to kind of take a look at themselves and you know lock in focus be able to take ownership on that that end of the ball. Laura Albany's with Newsday. Hey Joe as Steve mentioned pride hustle all these things when it comes to your defense. Do you really think that's the key to you guys improving or is there something schematically that you guys can change to improve in this area? No I don't think it really matters what you drop at this point if guys are not I know everybody's not bought in everybody's not together it's hard hard to win in this league regardless of how much how much talent you have. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. Hey Joe considering this is you had a good look at this team two days ago and I presume all of these things were probably discussed after the double overtime loss. I mean is it a little bit more surprising I guess that it was possibly even more of an issue two days later against the same team? Yeah definitely I think tool man everybody is very frustrated right now just you know you we talked about a number of things yesterday you know in our film session and then even leading up to the game today you know obviously like you mentioned there was a lot of things that we address where we were trying to clean up and you know the the stuff that we that we talked about was the stuff that hurts again tonight you know we just not enough I don't know the energy was definitely on their side even even when it was close in the first half and we never got it in our favor we never really felt any momentum and you know a lot of times I think that happens you know the lot of time defense gives you energy so you know when you're able to get stops string them together make some good defensive plays you end up having a little bit more energy on the offense event and vice versa so you know it is it is a very frustrating thing but you know we can't we can't sit here and dwell on it it's such a you know early point in the season you know the season is so young right now we have so many games ahead of us and we got to stick together you know we got a game tomorrow that we got locking on and try and get ourselves right Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News Hey Joe just like what's it like to have two so new former teammates like you were just playing with Jared and Tori and a week and change ago and now they come now you play against them and and they have pretty big games what's it like to kind of have your old teammates have the performances they had tonight against you I mean you wish that it wasn't against you but you know obviously you're happy for those guys that build up good relationships with and that's just the you know it's the nature of the NBA you know you play against a lot of guys that have been your teammates in the past obviously not probably as quick as a turnaround as this but you know you saw you hope that those guys do well
