00:00Just having their presence was big for us, it was huge.
00:03And just making plays for everybody else, making the game easy.
00:07When teams double team Kawhi or PG on the post ups or pick and roll.
00:11It just makes it easier cuz our guys are getting open shot.
00:14So we need those guys tonight.
00:16I thought our guys were a little tired, but it was able to fight through it.
00:21Let's move over to Farvard.
00:26Hey coach, congrats on the win.
00:27Thank you.
00:29One of the things I noticed was in the second quarter, for
00:32a brief moment, you kind of ran with the full bench.
00:34And then after that, you decided to stagger Paul George, Nicholas Batum and Kawhi.
00:38How much time do you usually take when you decide, okay,
00:41we're not gonna run that again?
00:42What's the leeway you usually get?
00:44Well, with PG coming back, he was tired and
00:49he had a little minute restriction.
00:51So we weren't able to do the full stagger in that first half.
00:55So like I said, I was on me just as far as the lines that we had out there.
01:00I thought he was scoring too easy and they weren't on a hell of a run.
01:03So in the second half, coming out of that third quarter,
01:05I just decided to get PG out a lot earlier so that way we can get him back.
01:09And that kind of helped us get our rotations back in order.
01:11So that first half was on me with PG being on the minutes restriction.
01:16How to do a better job in the second half of just cutting down some other guy's
01:20minutes.
