00:00 You ever seen anybody eat wings with gloves on before?
00:03 [dog barks]
00:05 I don't think so, no.
00:06 That was the first...
00:08 Put that in the commercial.
00:10 That's a professional wing eater.
00:12 I think you had 26 minutes to melt, which is two more than the cap.
00:17 Are you getting...
00:18 The cap?
00:19 Well, the restriction, I think, pops out as you...
00:21 Five, 26 minutes?
00:22 Yes.
00:23 Are you getting closer?
00:24 He said you need to take some pictures, some x-rays.
00:28 Do you feel like you're ready?
00:30 Yes.
00:31 This is...
00:32 I mean, I understand, of course, I'm wrong for wanting to...
00:40 I agree for this restriction.
00:43 So, I'm wrong.
00:45 At the moment, of course, I want to play, but I'm frustrated.
00:49 The wise option is to listen to the staff, who knows hard.
00:54 It's frustrating.
00:56 But, you know, we ball.
00:59 Are you lobbying for more in-game?
01:03 You get two more here, at this point?
01:06 It's like, I mean, during the game, I just talked to the coach and I said, "Yeah."
01:12 I think 25 minutes already was too long.
01:17 Looking back, of course, I understand that part of you...
01:21 What's happening on the court?
01:24 Checking for a minute.
01:26 Checking for a minute.
01:27 Trying to hope for extra time.
01:30 Before?
01:31 Yeah.
01:32 I wasn't allowed to sub in, but I still did it, and the coach subbed me in.
01:37 I'm glad.
01:39 So, what was the difference in the second half, in this game in particular?
01:44 What allowed them to get away from you?
01:49 I think our team stats were pretty similar, you know, rebounds, shots.
01:55 They made a couple more threes than us.
01:57 I mean, it's a lot of details, but I really like what we did in the first half.
02:04 Our defensive rotations were pretty good.
02:07 This is what we've got to look like all game.
02:10 You and Jav went out of the game.
02:11 Last question.
02:12 What did you make of him and his performance in that matchup?
02:14 Sorry?
02:15 What did you make of Jav Ryan and his performance in matching up against him?
02:21 I mean, of course, you know, good player, very, very small, so it's hard to catch up on him.
02:29 And very fast.
02:32 And yeah, he's just another great player that I see every night.
02:38 And yeah, everyone got a franchise player like this who's causing problems.
