00:00Yeah, I think when you look at their journey for seven years, there's been ups, there's been learning, you know, experiences for them with winning and losing.
00:10And so understanding for us, we've been together for five months, some of us.
00:16So this is, you know, a really positive journey that we've been on here.
00:20And we'll look at what we can do as we get to the finals.
00:24Just understanding we have to play our best basketball.
00:27Unfortunately, Boston was better than us in this series, and they won the championship.
00:32How much were you hurting?
00:34It doesn't matter if I was hurt.
00:37How much was I hurt?
00:38I was out there, tried to play, but I didn't do enough.
00:44We worked extremely hard to be one of the final two teams.
00:47We didn't achieve our goal, but we achieved most of our goals.
00:50So this is just the last step that we have to get back to.
00:53And we know it's not going to be easy.
00:55We're going to go against a lot of young teams that are emerging.
00:58But we're going to get better as well.
01:00And I think this experience will carry us forth in the following series that we play next year.
01:05God willing, we make it back to the playoffs and get the chance to play our best basketball.
01:09I think everyone's hungry now.
01:11You know, obviously we didn't get where we wanted to, but, you know, it's not the end of the world.
01:16We know that we need to regroup and be back here again next year.
01:21I mean, that's the goal every single year.
