ni first off how's your help it's good a little bit sore I just get a I don't know what happened I think I got a hit couple times in the same soft spot and it was just a it was just uh sore every time you guys play that team it always feels very contested where it's just two great teams kind of going back and forth do you get up for those games anymore just because they are as intense as they are um I mean no no because I'm I think I'm playing this every game the same way uh yes they're really good team and um they have a they have a basically answer for everything you know matchup wise um defense wise offense wise you know so they are really uh well built team and they're playing really good you know they are that's why they're number they the best team in NBA right now um and uh it's really hard to play against the team who they are Long Tall they defend really good they have really smart players you know so it's a it's a great team what makes AG so special for you around the wom his ability to finish what what does that do for you and and for the team I mean just when you give him the ball he's going to dunk it you know like I told to the guys and someone asked me like I sometimes I don't even need to look at I know where he is you know so I just need to throw it out there and I know he's going to get it most of the times uh but if if you don't get it it's basically my fault because I didn't pass it the right way so um just a presence just a like a strong finisher like even if if it's a bad pass he's just going to go strong you know even if he miss you cannot be mad at him he's going aggressive and strong to the basket EXA that dunk he got did that dunk even surprise you at the end of the game no I did a spin move and I like I saw Brown contestant I was like and it didn't have a good angle because it needed to be probably a bounce pass and I saw I think white rotating like I'm just going to shoot it if I miss he's going to be there so in my head that was my thought process but it was a bad Miss but it's a great DK what the advantage for you guys getting potentially the best seat possible for the playoffs I mean having a home cour advantage of course that's we always play good here even last time in the playoffs when we won a championship we lost one game here so you know I think yes that's important but uh how we are playing that's the most important thing you know the how we are locked in and how we are trying to be the best version of ourselves ad said he thought that Miss where you had the proect might have even been a case of you just trying to throw it at The Rim so it was in a position where he could go get it is that ever part of the calculus for you if you can sort of detect the spacing and where someone no I was I was going to score in my thought I was going to score if I miss he's going to get it so that was my process where's the defense at with your team right now because it feels like the the rotations are very good you guys are very locked in it seems to get better as the game goes along just how do you evaluate the defense uh I think yes you said a really good I think we are getting better and even during the game we are getting better we are making [Music] uh adjust adjustments during the game and everybody is uh kind of really quick responding to them and I think that's uh that's that's what uh we show that we can do that and that's that's what good defensive team I think that's what they do to Quick adjustments and be really good at those quick adjustments speaking of adjustments you started the third quarter and you're giv some more space in pick and roll and KP hits two threes off a pick and pop action and then you call timeout and then you come out and you play a little higher in the level I was curious if you get to make that call on how high up you play or if that's something that coach Malone and the coaching staff decides and how to make those adjustments no no they they they they do they do all I'm just listening sometimes I can say something if I think it's it's a good if if we can be better but I really trust uh our coaching staff you know since every year in the playoffs since bubble I think we are we're making adjustments and we are getting better we getting better so I really trust my not my our uh training uh uh coaching staff and I think they're really good doing a good job what have you seen out pton Watson and you know just his maturation and development yes I mean he he he lived up to situation you know he's he has has a great energy he has a uh I said like it's like a poison like you he poison you with his energy you know even even when he get beat sometimes uh he can get he can meet the guy at the rim he's a really good Defender and he's still figuring out the offense but I think uh when he's doing something with aggressive and with the confidence he cannot make a mistake he had a big jumper and he had a big three so he he was he did a good job today do you think you would have been able to do what he's doing at 21 years old like filling in with an NBA championship contending team and playing at such a high level yes kind of piggy back off of that though is it you know is it kind of unique for a 21y old to accept this role I mean this was a guy that was a McDonald's allamerican in high school he was a Ballin hand guy in high school and he's gone from that to being a guy in the NBA and being really willingly accept I think he's playing with really good guys and good players in his team and he is accepting the role and that's how it's supposed to be you know I think he's going to get his opportunity but I think right now there is a couple guys better than him and our team thank you thank you
