00:00 - Whenever we play these guys, it's always battle.

00:03 You know, whatever the records are,

00:05 the records are.

00:07 Every time we play these guys, it's gonna be tough.

00:08 It's always gonna be a lot of state.

00:10 - Do you feel like this one has added to the offensive

00:12 and that being said,

00:13 you haven't got a lot of season going?

00:14 - It's a big part of the year for both of us.

00:16 You know, they're coming off a loss.

00:18 We're coming off a loss.

00:18 We're both trying to win the division.

00:20 So it's a big game.

00:22 - They know you, you know them.

00:23 Is that beneficial or does that make it

00:25 that much more challenging on a short week?

00:29 - You know, short week, it probably helps you a little bit.

00:33 You know, like you said, we play them twice a year.

00:36 You know, we've played this group, you know,

00:39 several times now, three times last year,

00:41 once already this year.

00:42 So, you know, like you said, we know them, they know us.

00:46 And it's a short week, not a lot of time

00:49 to put in a bunch of new stuff.

00:54 Last week you were talking about your early bedtime

00:57 and the importance of rest.

00:59 When you play a primetime game, a night game,

01:01 do you, how far ahead do you adjust your schedule?

01:03 Do you stay up a little later to try to get ready

01:06 for a night late game?

01:07 - Later on in the week, yes.

01:09 You know, you start to stay up a little later,

01:11 Friday, Saturday, because you know,

01:13 you're playing late into the night.

01:15 So you're not going to bed quite as early.

01:18 Just trying to get your body,

01:19 your circadian rhythm ready to play.
