 We weren't well tonight offensively, you know, out of rhythm out of sync, you know, we definitely didn't play the way we wanted to play the way we planned to play. And I would say that for the entire game, you know, we had a couple stretches where we played okay, but really didn't play the way we wanted to play offensively. Defensively, we weren't great either, but, you know, not as a disaster. But just not a great game for us. We just didn't have our best stuff tonight. And, you know, we got a game seven on our home floor. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. Hey, Steve, obviously you were in contact in the fourth quarter, but considering you knew how desperate this team is going to be facing elimination at home, I mean, in your mind, do you feel you kind of gave this one away really early from the start, giving them that big lead? Well, it didn't hurt to have a tough start, for sure. You know, we, it's a common theme here. We've given up tough starts, we clawed back in, but haven't had enough. And frankly, I haven't played well here. So, well, I mean, you can point to a lot of things. And we definitely have a lot to clean up. And it was one of those nights where you could just tell we didn't quite have our fastball. So, you know, but that's what this is all about is persevering, is finding ways to come back and bounce back. And that's why we were able to push through and finish seconds in the east. So, let me have game seven on our home floor. Malika Andrews at the ESPN. Hey, Steve, I have two for you. First, I'm just wondering if immediate thoughts on potentially how to slow person at all 10 in game seven. I know you didn't watch film yet, but. I mean, obviously, we kind of let them out of the bag tonight. Just got to play better. I mean, we put them on the line when we didn't need to. We gave up a couple open shots and transition and an offensive rebounds, things like that. They get someone going. So, you know, we got to take away some of those situations and just play a little better, a little harder, a little more concentration. And if we add it all up, I think we can do a better job. Secondly, at least to my eye test, James looked to do what you said feel like maybe he tested it out and we knew what his limitations were and looked more comfortable. How did he appear to you? Yeah, I mean, clearly, he made some shots. You know, he did some things. He certainly rebounds assist steel. So, James was better tonight as far as what he was able to do. But, you know, it's tough. He's really limited. He can't do a lot of things that he's a customer doing. So, I'm just grateful that it doesn't appear that he has any setbacks and if anything, he played a little bit better. So, but a tough, tough position for James, you know, to be out there trying his best, trying to help his team and not be able to do or move the way he normally would. Alex Shiver with the Athletic. Hey, Steve, I have two as well. It seemed like there were multiple times during the game where you guys would get within striking distance, making two possessions, five points or so. And then they would go on that thick lead. As Greg said, do chalk up the, maybe being the energy exerted to get to that point as to then getting that big run right after, maybe something else that could run to that. I would say that's fair. You know, we, we didn't look like we had, you know, a ton of energy all night. You know, I think we wanted it. We just couldn't find it. And, you know, when you, you know, can't find that rhythm, it makes it even harder. And some, it's kind of chicken in the egg. You know, is the, the rhythm because you don't have the energy or is the, is it a compounded, you know, because you don't have a rhythm. So it was just not our best game. We didn't play well. Lots of things we could have done better, improved on for next game. But, you know, that, like I said, it's, it's now about how we respond. And then just the three-point shooting, nine for 30. You talked about not playing your best offensively. It seemed like you guys still got some decent looks throughout the game. Do you like the shot selection? Do you think some of those are forced to bounce? Well, I mean, we didn't create, I don't think the way we normally do, but we certainly had some good looks about in particular in the first half and in stretches. We had a lot of looks that we just didn't knock down. But overall, I didn't like the way we played offensively. Like I said, we just looked a little, a little slow, a little stagnant and got away from what we do best. But, you know, that's sometimes how it rolls in the playoffs, ups and downs. You have a great game. You come on their home floor and things look different. And now we got to get to go back to our home floor and hopefully play our best game in the series. Jared Greenberg with Turner. Coach, you talked a lot about the newness of this team and finding out about who you are throughout the course of this series. How much of those offensive struggles tonight would you attribute to that lack of chemistry that this team has? I think only a little bit. I mean, I thought chemistry has been really good. I just think we were in a situation tonight. Guys were, you know, I think a little fatigued. We didn't have our best stuff. And we just, you know, we're facing maybe a few too many things that we're going against us, you know, in the big picture, you know. So that wasn't our best stuff. I don't know that it was chemistry. There's definitely aspects to our game that are difficult when there's so much change and so much newness. But tonight I just didn't feel like we had to balance the step and that thrust that it takes sometimes to play offense basketball.
