00:00He certainly was, you know, certainly rusty, right, and both rusty a little bit
00:07and conditioning I think showed up fairly early. I've seen him kind of play
00:11through that before, you know, kind of respond in the second half after being
00:16on a layoff a little bit. Seemed to do it a little bit, but then I thought he got a
00:21little tired again in the fourth, but again probably to be expected.
00:25What do you anticipate he'll get back quickest? You know, when he's
00:31playing well, he's kind of got command of the game at the offensive end, right?
00:34He's either creating good shots for himself or creating a lot of
00:40defensive schemes against him, which is creating much easier shots for our guys,
00:47right? I think that's part of rhythm, that's part of conditioning, all that
00:51kind of stuff. You know, he's a great shooter. That'll come back too, I think, yeah.
