00:00 Gallo, Casey Thunder dot com. Who would you think of the game overall tonight
00:04 for your team? Seemed like they got out to kind of an early start, but you all
00:08 battled throughout the night. I mean, it's a 48 games game. We had our
00:13 chances, but in the use of well, I think that they were good and rebound
00:18 offensively. We got a better job of that. I mean, we have some guys, but
00:23 we are all five of five players got a game there. But I think we're going to
00:27 win. And then how about your night? You know, efficient on offense and then
00:31 very disruptive defensively, too. I think you had seven combined blocks and
00:35 steals tonight. Um, I mean, that's fine, but I think I could better job on
00:40 defense. One on one. Sure, there was some easily that they had on me. I
00:45 gotta get better on that.
00:47 Paris Lawson, Ocasio, Thunder dot com. Poku. The Toronto is very physical on
00:54 the defensive end. What can you guys take away from this game just in terms
00:56 of the physicality that they brought? We've got to play with the best and
01:01 cut more. We generally do that, but we gotta do it more. We should start with
01:07 the ball. And then for you guys overall, you talked about just kind of the
01:11 assist. You guys had a lot of assist tonight, and the ball was really moving.
01:15 Just what does that do for you guys when you guys are sharing the ball that
01:17 the way you were? It makes us feel good. You know, steam, we get it going, but
01:22 I think we just gotta keep doing that.
01:24 Mhm.
01:24 Christine Butterfield, one of some some of the franchise. I know you said that
01:31 you felt like you could be better on defense tonight, but you know, you had
01:36 one of your better offensive games that you've had in the past few games. Can
01:40 you talk about your comfortability that you felt tonight on the floor? I was
01:44 with the blue for a certain amount of time. I, you know, I feel comfortable
01:47 when I got here and, you know, I was just playing the game the right way.
01:54 And just finally about we gotta, you know, we gotta play inside the team.
01:58 Keep keep the bubble.
01:59 Joe Masato, the Oklahoman Poku. When Mark talks about you, he often brings
02:12 up the word compete and like the need for you to compete every time you're
02:16 out there. Like, what do you interpret that to mean? Or like when he tells you
02:20 that, like, what are some of the things he's looking for? That's what I said.
02:23 Defensively, like, you know, I have block steals, but, you know, defense
02:26 101 chesting rebound with two hands getting on the floor.
02:30 Those physical things that I got more.
02:34 I'm gonna try to progress.
02:36 Anyone else in the room?
02:39 We're on to appreciate you guys. Good night.
