00:00Yeah, but we got punked and we didn't play well enough and they came out with the right
00:04intensity and we didn't.
00:06I thought we let some open shots early and they can affect us how we play defensively.
00:11And, you know, this is a team that does that.
00:13I mean, there's a reason why they have historic plus minus numbers throughout this season
00:17is they put people away.
00:19So you got to have a much better start than that.
00:22We can't come out like that, that kind of mentality.
00:25I thought we joined the party late.
00:27When you join the party late, the refs look at you as reactionary.
00:30The whistle doesn't go your way.
00:32So you can't be reactionary in these playoff games.
00:35You have to do it from the tip, from the start.
00:37We know that.
00:38I could tell in that room.
00:39The eyes looking back at me know that.
00:42That's the reality of what just happened.
00:43So we'll go back.
00:45Obviously, it's a really tough series and a really good team, but I'll say it again.
00:50You can't get punked the first six minutes.
