00:00Luka, what's going on with your knee? How's that feeling and how did that
00:05affect you tonight, particularly on the defensive end?
00:10I don't know. It's hurting obviously, but it shouldn't be an excuse, man. We just came
00:18out a little sloppy, so we got to do way better than that.
00:25Do you feel like you can, is it impacting your ability to move laterally?
00:32I'll just be straight, like the first few games of the series you were really
00:36good defensively. Tonight it seemed like a real struggle to keep the ball in
00:40front of you. Yeah, I mean I was in foul trouble. We said we're trying to live
00:46not hard and shooting threes. The game plan was living with his floors, so I was
00:53just trying not to give him threes, but obviously it wasn't good, especially me.
01:00Luka, when the shots aren't falling for you specifically, how do you just
01:03maintain a positive mindset and everything? I mean we came back, we were
01:09down 31. We came back, you know, I got to really give the fans. The fans were
01:16amazing, you know, keep supporting us. We're down 30, 31, but they kept
01:21supporting us, so really give that to the fans. But like I said, we got to start
01:26games better, especially me.
01:29Luka, obviously this has been a really physical series.
01:31What have you thought of that and how has this differed from other series
01:34where you've played against the Clippers?
01:36I mean, obviously this year they changed the criteria. It's way more physical, but
01:44like I said, I'm fine with it. You know, I'm fine with it. It's more physical
01:49obviously, so just keep playing basketball.
01:54Luka, Friday night Kyrie had 19 in the second half of the game.
02:03Today he had 40 in three quarters. What do you see that you enjoy from that?
02:09And then how has his game influenced your game at all?
02:12Yeah, I just got to help him more. I feel like I'm letting him down, so I got to be
02:17there. I got to help him more. He's given everything that he has and he's been
02:22amazing for us the whole series.
02:25Has his game influenced playing with him? Has it influenced your game at all?
02:28Yeah, it's way easier for me, so I got to take advantage of that and it just makes
02:33my life easier that he's on the court.
