00:00 Hello, Casey Thunder dot com.
00:02 Lou, what did you feel about just kind of the rhythm of the game tonight?
00:05 Seemed like neither team could really extend those stretches of really strong
00:09 play or develop like an offensive rhythm.
00:12 Yeah, I just I just felt like it was definitely not our best game.
00:16 I mean, I felt like we just had a slow start,
00:19 could have done a better job of that.
00:21 And I mean, it just it just came out to the last possession.
00:23 You know, both teams didn't really have a great game, but we still fought.
00:27 And, you know, it came down to the last possession.
00:30 Joe Masato, the Oklahoman, Lou Mark said before the game that Bradley Beal is,
00:41 I guess, one of the few guys that's given you a little bit of trouble
00:45 defensively in the past.
00:46 What's the what's the hardest part of defending him?
00:49 He just moved a lot.
00:53 Yeah. You know, when I have to chase him around the screens and stuff.
00:57 But like that, that's that's one of the toughest things to do.
01:00 You know, guarding a guy like that, he makes tough shots.
01:02 You know, he's a great player.
01:03 So I mean, I felt like I did an OK job today.
01:06 You know, everything was tough for him at the end.
01:08 I kind of got it going at the end.
01:10 But, you know, I was I still had to make everything tough for him.
01:13 Here's awesome. OK, so Thundercom.
01:24 Lou, they led by 10 points at one point in that second half,
01:28 and you guys fought back and made it a ball game.
01:30 Just what was that shift?
01:31 What was that spark that that really helped you guys get back into this ballgame?
01:34 I feel like we just had to keep fighting.
01:36 Did a good job moving the ball.
01:38 We got some open shots that we not get done.
01:40 I feel like Bates, you know, did a good job.
01:42 It's at the end, just making good shots.
01:44 You're at the right place at the right time.
01:45 So I mean, we were just fighting until the end of the game.
01:48 Just want to get your perspective on Shea being back.
01:53 He he really worked hard to get himself back, right.
01:56 And he seemed to get off to a really, really nice start.
01:58 Yeah, I mean, it's great.
01:59 You know, he's our best player.
02:00 And then, you know, it's always nice to play with our best player.
02:04 And I feel like he did a good job, you know, today, just getting the team going,
02:07 you know, moving the ball.
02:08 And then, you know, she's I feel like she's always doing this thing.
02:12 And, you know, it was just great to have him back for us tonight.
02:14 I would go to the last question, Christos Solves, go ahead with the question, Christos.
02:20 Hey, Lou, hope you're doing well.
02:22 Have two questions for you.
02:23 The one is how comfortable you feel in your leadership role this season?
02:27 And second, how games like this against the Wizards
02:31 help you guys about your development as a group?
02:34 Oh, help me in my leadership.
02:38 I just feel like I just got to lead by example.
02:40 You know, I just I just had.
02:43 I just feel like I learned that from my first year from Chris Paul,
02:46 just so much stuff that I can do just by showing it and the fact
02:50 that we just have a young team and and I can do that and they can just follow.
02:53 And that's something I got from him.
02:55 And the challenge we had tonight, you know, is
02:58 we're just having a good year right now.
03:01 I just felt like we just had to come here and compete and play hard with them.
03:03 I feel like even if we didn't both both teams and have a really great game,
03:07 I just felt like we just compete a lot, really hard.
03:10 And then, you know, play until the last last minute.
03:12 Thank you, Lou.
03:14 That's a wrap.
03:16 With that, we're availed tonight, everyone. Thank you.
