00:00Please say your name and affiliation. Start back in the middle over there, in the Navy.
00:07Carlos Revello, Telemundo 39. Lucas, good evening. It has been realistic in these playoffs.
00:19It doesn't end until a team wins four games. What is your message to the fans and how do you see it for what is to come?
00:28We have to be positive. That's it. Very positive. In the end, it's the first four and we have to be positive.
00:59What kind of responsibility do you think you can take to improve in that area moving forward?
01:05It's okay. Every time they draw it, you basically call a foul. I try to be better. I've got to get better.
01:21Middle here.
01:29Blake Kelly, 105.3 is a fan. Lucas, just take us through your emotions when you foul out of the game and you see your team trying to fight back into it.
01:39We had a good chance. We were close. We just didn't get it. I wish I was out there.
01:47Any other questions for Lucas? We've got Tim right here. First row.
01:52Tim McMahon, ESPN. Lucas, what did you think of the whistles that went against you in the fourth quarter?
02:02I don't know. We couldn't play physical. I don't know. I don't want to say nothing.
02:14Six fouls in the NBA Finals. I'm like this. Come on, man. Better than that.
02:26You guys came out cooking in the first quarter. I think 25 points to seven minutes.
02:32What happened to bog down the offense? What happened to make scoring more difficult there?
02:41I think we should just keep playing with the same energy. Keep the same people in.
02:47We were rolling down there. Then they came back. At some point we were down 21-2 in the fourth quarter.
02:53We came back. We're going to still believe until the end.
02:59Brad Townsend, Dallas Morning News. We know you've only fouled out three times in the NBA.
03:03Have you ever had four fouls called on you in that short of a span?
03:08Sorry?
03:09Do you ever recall having four fouls on you being called in that short of a span?
03:14Not really. I don't think it ever happened to me. I don't remember.
03:20What did you guys do right to turn around the game and pull off that 20-2 rally?
03:26Just playing with pace. We played good defense and then we played with pace.
03:32Just driving, kicking. That's how we got back to the game.
03:38Tomer here on the left.
03:43Tomer with Charlie with Clutch Punch.
03:45Luka, you mentioned staying positive. I guess scoring seems to be a big issue for you guys.
03:50What outside of just staying positive can you guys do?
03:53Are you seeing the process that you want to offensively?
03:55Or are there more things you need to see out there?
03:57I think we've got to figure out some things.
03:59We've played three times against them now. So we're getting to know them.
04:03But I think being down 21 in the third game and then coming back is a really positive thing for us.
04:11Dan here on the left.
04:12Dan Devine, Yahoo Sports, over here.
04:14Luka, I think the number is 156 teams have been down 3-0 in a series.
04:18Not one has come back yet.
04:20Having come so close tonight with that best punch you threw,
04:24how do you get into the right mindset to be able to get one on the board in game four?
04:28Like I said, it's not over until it's over.
04:32We've just got to believe.
04:35Like I always say, it's first to four.
04:37We're going to stay together.
04:39We lose together, we win together.
04:41So we've got to stay together.
04:43Luka, Kevin Sherrington, Dallas Morning News.
04:45Four years ago, Jerry West had a lot of really nice things to say about you.
04:49Projected how great he thought you were going to be.
04:51I wonder what that meant to you when he said that and what were your thoughts about his passing?
04:55Yeah, I'm sorry.
04:57I didn't see what he said.
05:00I don't know.
05:02He was a legend.
05:04We're all going to miss him.
05:06He's the logo.
05:08He was an amazing player.
05:10I wasn't born yet, but I saw some highlights.
05:12He was an amazing player.
05:14Hi, Luka.
05:16How are you?
05:18And how does it affect the fact that between this game and game four,
05:20you have less time to recover?
05:22Tomorrow you're playing against Mella Day.
05:24Do you think you'll be playing again?
05:26Yes.
05:29I'm going to play like I used to.
05:31I'm going to rest tomorrow and get ready for game four.
05:33Good.
05:43Mojca, Radio Slovenia.
05:45Luka, how are you going to prepare for the next game?
05:47How are you going to keep your morale up?
05:49We're going to keep going.
05:51We're going to keep going.
05:53We're going to keep going.
05:55We're going to keep going.
05:57We're going to keep going.
05:59The next game is the most important.
06:01We have game after game.
06:03We have to win four.
06:05We have to get ready.
06:07Thanks, Luka.
