00:00 >> It's just a matter of how the game goes.
00:03 Everybody's emotions gonna be like this.
00:05 So my job and everybody's job is to rally around a guy like that.
00:09 George, he's consistently like I said, just to keep his spirits up,
00:14 keep his head in the game.
00:16 So when the ball comes his way, he's able to make a play.
00:20 And that's just part of the game, the emotion.
00:22 That's tough, but emotion is a part of the game.
00:27 But I don't wanna sit here and just make something like George's the problem at
00:32 all, that's not the case.
00:33 It's the emotions, it's real big.
00:36 >> In terms of reps with Mason, you guys have to play catch up this week because
00:40 you haven't had those reps that you would have with Kenny or even Mitch.
00:44 >> No, I'm not worried about Mason.
00:45 I know Mason gonna come in and do his job.
00:47 He's always done that.
00:49 I got that from my rookie year when we played together.
00:53 So I got full confidence in him, I'm ready.
00:57 >> Deontay, what do you appreciate about how he's handled his situation,
01:01 Mason, I'm talking about?
01:02 >> I know it's tough on him, just seeing him go through that every day,
01:07 not saying nothing, just working, coming to work.
01:12 Still talking to everybody, nothing bothering him.
01:16 That makes me keep going too.
01:19 So it's like, man, if he can do it, I can do it, even though certain situations,
01:23 I'm feeling some type of way.
01:25 I just look at him, and that gives me motivation to keep going,
01:28 because this situation is very different.
01:29 I'm playing and he's not, so I can just take something and learn from that.
01:34 That's what I'm doing.
