00:00 Nick Gallo, KC Thunder.com shape before the game.
00:03 Mark really credited you with just your work ethic and getting yourself to a point
00:08 where you could even play tonight coming off that sprained ankle.
00:11 What, what have the last three, four days been like for you as you've kind of gotten
00:14 yourself back to a hundred percent?
00:16 Yeah.
00:17 Um, a lot of treatment, kind of just listening to our staff, uh, performance team,
00:23 uh, medical team, um, obviously that's their specialty.
00:27 I was just listening to them and then how did you feel personally?
00:32 You seem to get off to a really hot start, had the dunk, had five quick assists.
00:35 When you miss time and you know, you weren't going a long time, but there's a
00:48 part of you just, just kind of has to get back your rhythm or whatever.
00:50 That is that a fact at all?
00:52 Because he didn't, you missed just a couple of games.
00:54 Um, I didn't feel it tonight.
00:56 Uh, like, like you said, it's fun because it was a few games.
01:00 Um, I can imagine this in a long time.
01:03 Yeah, for sure.
01:03 Rhythm will come into play.
01:04 Joe Masato, the Oklahoma and Shea, when you grab that defensive rebound, I think
01:17 there was, um, maybe like five seconds on the clock.
01:20 Um, Mark said you guys didn't have numbers.
01:23 So we called timeout.
01:24 Did you have any anticipation in that moment as far as whether or not Mark
01:30 was going to call timeout or not?
01:31 Yeah.
01:32 Coach always tells us like that position.
01:36 One of that, I'll try to play.
01:38 Yeah, we just, that's something we talked about short many times.
01:49 Um, and then kind of figure out how we got to the second one.
01:53 And then what would you think of that last look that you got there at the end?
01:57 Yeah.
01:58 It's tough.
02:01 Um, winning and out, uh, that's life.
02:03 It's basketball.
02:04 And one last one for me, uh, not to do with this game, but the two games you were
02:10 out, um, Josh playing a bigger role on the ball.
02:13 What'd you see that, that maybe impressed you from having kind of a.
02:17 A seat to that and seeing what he was doing while you, while you were out.
02:23 It didn't really like surprise me.
02:24 Is there one thing about his passing ability that impresses you the most that
02:43 you just see and, you know, are like, wow, this, you know, this is impressive
02:48 for a young guy like him.
02:49 Yeah.
02:49 It's two things.
02:51 He sees everything.
02:52 Um, and then everything's on target.
02:55 Uh, it makes it easy to play with.
02:57 Uh, there were a lot of guys that could cut us through, for example, um,
03:01 K rich, Josh, since that money a lot, um, that's for sure.
03:06 A plus.
03:07 Thanks.
03:08 Here's also an okay.
03:11 Standard.com before the game coach just talked about how big ball movement would
03:15 be tonight against a team like Washington, just in that regard on the offensive end
03:20 tonight, what did you think of your group's performance overall?
03:23 I think we had spurts for sure.
03:25 Um,
03:26 yes, you can say no.
03:28 We had spurs.
03:30 We always say it's about
03:31 so for one question, Christos sold us.
03:40 Go ahead with the question.
03:41 Christos.
03:41 Let me say, first of all, welcome back.
03:44 Uh, for you guys, how helped you?
03:47 You always said that every game has a lesson for you guys.
03:51 What was the lesson of tonight's game for you?
03:53 Um, he's got to play a full 48.
03:57 Um, every possession matters.
04:00 Um,
04:02 loose ball, rebound execution.
04:05 Um, we played a full 48 minutes out, um, and we'll give ourself the best shot.
04:09 Sure. And I think tonight we had spurts.
