00:00Usually an NBA history says you have to lose and lose big before you win

00:04What is it about this team that says we lost last year? Yeah, but that's different. You have to lose at a bigger stage

00:10Usually teams use the playoffs. We lost last year

00:22That's just the truth

00:25Oh

00:26What makes what makes you guys believe that you guys don't have to wait any longer that just getting past the second round

00:33Isn't the goal that you guys can win the next two rounds?

00:35I think um, and I think this is the biggest thing to answer that question. It starts with our head coach Chris Finch

00:50He's thinking of ways to get Mike and Rudy open looks he's thinking of ways to get Jane involved

00:55He's trying to keep Nas in it to get him involved

00:57He's just a great coach and he don't sugarcoat anything with anybody like if cat up

01:04He's gonna get on me if Rudy's been up

01:05he's gonna get on anybody that's messing up throughout the game and I think that's what makes him the best coach in the NBA to
