• 1:47
  Speaker 5: obviously up three to two, we're playing at home. You

  Speaker 5: want to take care of business and just approach the
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: game the right way.

• 2:09
  Speaker 8: changed dramatically though from one team to the other as well.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I mean I think obviously, you know that year,
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: I was my third year, you know, just young kid
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: coming in, and I thought it was gonna be easy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: I thought it was like, oh, I'm gonna come back.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna come back again. It's my third year, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: then you know, it was rough for us and for me,
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it even more now because I know how
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: hard it is to get there, and this team just
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: we have so many people that contribute. And also that team,
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: we have a great team. So I'm not trying to
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: say who's better or not, but I just think that
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: like the way we play, and like, you know, how
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: together we are as a team, and we rely on
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: every single person on the roster. So coach has done
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: a great job of that. And it's a different style
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: of games, so you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: Know, and I will want to give you you a
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: lot of credit because being in Los Angeles, I see,
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: I hear about the work that you put in yourself
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: and see Thomas Bryant.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: When you work out with.
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: The coach what's his name is Rico Hines. So when
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: you guys were doing all those workouts, it was the
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: work is put it off.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And now we used to watch Thomas Bryant.
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: I'm like, he never shoots like that in a real okay,
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: And here he is tonight in the NBA, in the
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: NBA Conference Finals, knocking down those same shots that he
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: did in the in the runs that you guys doing
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: the summer.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we put the work in. Man, there's no gimmicks.

  Speaker 6: like I always say, you know Hardwark is undefeated and
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: it's no negotiating. So that's my thing. No matter big game,

• 3:35
  Speaker 6: gonna always trusted Crenchcow.

• 3:46
  Speaker 6: one team in the NBA, so it's gonna be a
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: challenge and there's a lot of expectation. But I think

  Speaker 3: other teams that you played for. Do you you you
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: enjoy playing playing from that role? Yeah?
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: I mean I feel like that's us, That's our whole group.
