00:00 Missoula says all of these playoff rounds are the same Scottie. It doesn't matter. You've got to go out and win
00:06 It doesn't make a difference if the lights are brighter or not. How do you stay in the moment?
00:12 How is that different from the regular season?
00:13 How do you get the guys to kind of stay in the moment and treat everything the same way?
00:16 Yeah, I mean unless they change the light bulbs in the arenas
00:19 there won't be any brighter than they were in the last series and
00:21 It's just sticking
00:26 If you don't sprint back in transition, you don't pass the ball in a two-on-one
00:29 If you don't take away the other team's tendencies if you don't know who you're guarding if you don't recognize
00:33 Focusing on the most simple things in the truth the truth of the matter is you have to do those things
00:41 I've got to do that a high level and you know, obviously the stakes are higher
00:45 But that just means that the details are more important
00:48 I
00:51 hope that this is like something that he just does when he's talking to the media because let me tell you if
00:56 He's like that at parties a stiff. That's just a tough scene. I mean stay is a major stiff that guy
01:02 He's got no personality what so learn. I hope he's not like that around the team like on the plane or in practice
01:08 He's just like alright, this is what we're gonna do. They're not changing the light bulbs
01:11 I'm worried about his wife like, you know that you know, if that's what you're coming home to
01:19 Is seeing that guy coming through the door with that personality?
01:24 I'd rather you know, marry a dog
01:27 honestly, because
01:29 This guy is an absolute. He's like a garage door. I've said it before his personality is is nil
01:35 you know, do you think he'll drink some champagne and smile if they win the championship because I mean he is what a
01:43 Horrible like he's so grim. I mean, he's the grim reaper. We may have to start calling the grim reaper
01:49 grim reaper Missoula
01:52 That would be so I do what I don't want to see the Celtic win. I'm on
01:56 Mavericks here. I want the Mavericks to win
01:58 But I'm interested like you said if they ever won with this guy actually crack a smile if that's even possible
