00:00 Yeah, I mean, I said that I was going to get back to having fun.
00:05 Having fun comes in different forms.
00:10 I don't always have to be smiling or laughing all the time.
00:15 I can have fun just down there in the game.
00:18 Obviously tonight was just one of those nights where I was having fun like the old days.
00:25 Just having fun with the crowd.
00:27 Some nights I just might want to dominate and stay quiet.
00:32 But it was cool.
00:34 But the most important thing was that we bounced back and we got the win.
00:39 What happened at the end there with Kevin Herter?
00:41 It seemed like you were a little taken aback.
00:47 Yeah, I mean, there's always this thing about you shouldn't shoot the ball if you're up 20.
00:56 Something like that.
00:58 I feel like you should go both ways.
01:02 I'm running the clock down.
01:04 I feel like the game is over.
01:09 That's why I'm doing it.
01:11 But to me, if the other team is going to keep playing defense and they're going to keep shooting the ball at the other end,
01:19 I feel like we should just be like, "Well, be better next time, man. Just go out and score."
01:28 I thought about it when I had the ball again.
01:31 But I was like, "I'm going to stay cool."
01:35 But I feel like you should go both ways.
01:38 If the team up by 20, he's running the clock off, I feel like the other team should also respect it.
01:48 and we just moved on.
