00:00It didn't feel special.
00:02It didn't feel like I did something I've never done before.
00:06It just felt like another basketball game.
00:08I felt like I should have had more, missed some easy shots.
00:12But it's the game. You make some, you miss some. On to the next one.
00:15I don't say this to slight my teammates,
00:20but I feel like the end of our season last year in the playoffs,
00:26obviously for a lot of them it was the first time in the playoffs
00:31and playing games that meaningful.
00:34And I don't want to say they weren't ready,
00:36but I feel like I could have equipped them better
00:42throughout the year in taking shots, getting to spots,
00:48and being more comfortable in certain positions on the court,
00:51especially offensively.
00:53It's very easy to get caught up in individual performances,
00:58but no individual has ever won a championship.
01:03So the more willing I am to make early passes,
01:06make early plays for my teammates,
01:09the less the defense is willing to commit to me
01:13and the more worried they are about my teammates.
01:15Yeah, I think I was clicking tonight for sure in that terms.
