00:00 Coach talked about how you had to struggle and obviously the plus 4 and 5, but that you and Kai have been through spots like this before. How do you lead these teams?
00:10 I think we just have to have more energy. We showed energy in the fourth quarter. I think just need more energy going in.
00:19 How do you avoid the offensive struggles leading to the offensive? Coach basically said you guys do that your own best thing when you're down here at Fort Worth.
00:28 Yeah, I don't know. Just gotta unlock it from the first set and go again.
00:34 What do you think the loss means for the team?
00:41 I don't know. We're not in the fourth or fifth quarter. We're not in the position to lose so many points.
00:50 Kai said it's a matter of results, not the game. How do you think this team can change the game?
00:59 We have to have more energy after the game.
01:05 Timmy's going through a cold stretch like this. Is there anything you try to do to help the guy out?
01:11 Just stay positive. We all know it's going to come back to being ourselves.
01:20 How do you stay positive?
01:22 It's hard. Losing games is hard. By the end of the game, you've got another game in one day or two days.
01:32 Things change quickly. You could be on another seven game win streak. Do you remember that?
01:40 I do. Just before I start sliding.
01:43 Are you talking about mental energy or physical energy? Which do you think is the issue here?
01:49 I think it's a little bit of both. Like energy needs to be from the first minute of the game.
01:59 I can do better for sure. When I do it, people follow me so I've got to do better too.
02:06 You guys were hot early in the game. What changed after that?
02:11 We started pretty hot. We got to three-three's a lot of times. I don't know what changed.
02:19 I just let them do their own thing.
02:24 Today was the Spanish National Team Festival. There were a lot of fans from Spain.
02:30 There was even a fan base from Bochavilla. What does that mean for you?
02:36 A lot. I've been in Spain for seven years. I've always said it, Madrid is everything to me.
02:44 I've learned to speak, I've learned a lot of things. Especially with the basket.
02:49 I'm glad I was able to come to Mexico. I'm very happy to be here. Thank you for the support.
02:57 Is this team maybe a little tired for the game? You've been playing five and a half days.
03:03 No, it's 29 other teams that have problems at the same time. It's not an excuse.
03:10 Obviously you're still getting a nice gaffer and P.J. work into things.
03:14 What is the communication level, getting that communication better? What does that look like right now?
03:20 It's good. Like I said, our energy has to be better. But it's good.
03:27 Those two guys were great players. They helped us a lot.
03:30 Thank you.
