• 1:32
  Speaker 2: they're they're shrinking the pain. They they're really good hands.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Either're in the lanes. So it's all about taking care

  Speaker 2: of the ball, especially when they're bringing two bodies on
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: me and two bodies of yoke. We're just trying to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: make sure that we don't, you know, flip the ball
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: over and give him easy run us. So I hear you.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: You know I'll be better. You know, obviously it's not
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: my best game, but somebody's gotta do what you gotta
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: do and impact a game in different ways to win
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the game. And then it wasn't my night, but it
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: was somebody else's.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: You know, when you play with a great player, you
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: kind of just take it for granted. And we just
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: put up a stat where Joker had forty twenty and
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: five assists and only like five guys ever did that?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Do you just sometimes you look at the stat sheet
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: after the game You're like, Yo, this dude had forty
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: twenty and it's just say, I am, it's pretty special
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: to watch him play every night and take it for granted.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Basically, no, one hundred percent, No, I know, I'm playing
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: with the future Hall of Famer. Do's incredible. His damn
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you're unstoppable. That's why I just try to give him
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the ball and was every time. But I got to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: pick my spots too and be aggressive. You know, we
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: got to leave some pressure, leave some of the pressure
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: off of him. And uh yeah, man, he does. He
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: does it so often, you know, people are kind of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: numb to it. I mean, I'm looking up in the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: game and all of a sudden I see forty two.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, I forgot you know, keep giving the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: ball to Yo. So he's just one of those guys. Man,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he just gets it going with no emotion and he
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: can just take over a game like he did to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: night and just give us just enough life to make
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a few plays at the end to win the game. So,
• 2:55

  Speaker 5: You've had games where you've got a buzzer beat it
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: by Aaron Gordon, you have another shot at the buzzer,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: but you have a new voice on the bench, Like
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: this guy is in some pressure situations out him and
