00:04 >> Paris.
00:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:07 >> Paris Lawson, okcthunder.com.
00:09 Shea, just knowing that Aaron had his NBA debut tonight,
00:13 just what did you think of how he stepped in and what he was able to bring tonight?
00:17 >> Yeah, he was ready.
00:18 That's all you can ask.
00:20 Be ready to play, be ready to contribute on what he did tonight.
00:24 But that's what we expect.
00:26 We know what type of worker he is day in and day out, no matter what situation is.
00:30 He brought it tonight.
00:32 >> Knowing that you guys have a quick turnaround game tomorrow,
00:34 what are some of the biggest takeaways that you can take from this one and
00:37 move on to the next one?
00:38 >> Obviously, we didn't get enough stops tonight for sure.
00:44 So we'll watch film, coach the watch film, figure out what it was.
00:49 I can point it, try to get better on it.
00:52 And then thank you, we have another opportunity tomorrow night to try to fix
00:56 and get better.
00:56 >> Nick Gallo, kcthunder.com.
01:01 Shea, this is third straight game for Lou, over 20 points.
01:04 That's the first time he's done that in his career.
01:06 Just your thoughts on consistent offensive output from him and
01:10 just given everything else he provides you, what that does for the team, for
01:14 Lou's career, kind of for the organization moving forward,
01:17 if he's able to maintain strong offense.
01:19 >> Lou, he brings, obviously, the defense side of the ball every night.
01:27 He's such a hard worker that the offense side is gonna come with opportunity.
01:34 I mean, that's what you guys are seeing.
01:36 Lou gets more comfortable in the way he plays.
01:38 And I'd say for a lot of guys on the team,
01:40 the more opportunity they get, the more they work.
01:42 Stuff like that will happen, it'll show up.
01:43 >> Christine Butterfield, 107.7 of the franchise.
01:47 Once Lou Dort got that fourth foul and then Kendrick Williams did as well,
01:51 is there ever a concern for the team defensively that they can't go as hard?
01:55 Because they don't wanna foul out and
01:57 they don't wanna have to sit in that kind of situation?
02:01 >> I didn't even know, honestly.
02:03 When did they get the fourth foul?
02:08 In the third or fourth quarter?
02:09 >> [LAUGH] >> In the third.
02:12 >> And then Dort was, I think, before the half, right?
02:17 >> Yeah, before the second quarter.
02:19 >> Yeah.
02:21 >> See, I didn't even realize.
02:24 Yeah, I guess you're a little more cautious defensively.
02:29 But yeah, we try not to take our foot off the gas, try to still play with the same
02:32 intensity or else we'll get squirreled out of possession.
02:35 Guys on the team are so talented that if you take plays off defensively,
02:37 they'll make you pay.
02:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:40 >> Steve McGee, News 9.
02:41 You knew Kevin was gonna get his points tonight.
02:43 You guys did a good job on Joe Harris.
02:45 James Harden had to work for 16 points, one out of eight shooting.
02:48 But Patty Mills, what type of difference was he for them tonight?
02:51 And how frustrating was it to try and defend him?
02:54 >> Yeah, he's obviously a really good shooter.
02:58 He made shots, some tough ones, some easy ones.
03:02 He's a great basketball player, hats off to him.
03:05 We obviously didn't get the job done tonight on him, as well as Kevin.
03:11 We did get a job done, we lost, but yeah, they had a good day.
03:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:18 >> Joe Masato, the Oklahoman.
03:20 Shea, I asked Steve Nash pregame about your quote in GQ,
03:23 calling yourself the black Steve Nash.
03:26 I'm just wondering, did you talk to him before the game at all?
03:28 I know that was mostly a joke, but do you guys know each other well?
03:33 >> Yeah, obviously Steve, the icon back home.
03:38 He coached me a little bit when I was younger.
03:40 We have a pretty good relationship.
03:41 I didn't talk to him about it before the game, I was kinda locked in.
03:44 >> Okay. >> Yeah, we're cool.
03:45 >> Thanks.
03:45 >> That's it?
03:52 Questions on tip going once?
03:55 >> Okay.
