Lakers with a big win over the Sacramento Kings for the third time in 10 days and for the first time since 2010 the Lakers have swept the Sacramento Kings no LeBron James he missed this one because he was sick guys stepping up big time ad Austin Reeves Max Christie ruy Dalton connect huge games Rob yeah huge games you know Dalton came out with 18 you know I hope Gabe INF is going to be healthy but you look around the ball was really moving they was mooving it’s like sometimes when you lose a Superstar like LeBron James you more intent on running the offense because you don’t have to rely on the guy to bail you out you count on each other and tonight they mov the ball they was cutting they was passing the ball a lot of assists and I really the thing that we kept saying in the green room is like ad I thought he had like 40 rebounds cuz every time you looked up he was grabbing a rebound he only ended up with 18 rebounds was it 18 and he had eight assists by the way yeah 15 rebounds and eight assists so yeah that it was amazing night great team game great team game yeah the 33 assists as a team that that speaks volume that mean the ball was not sticking as Rob said it was moving I also thought you know getting to the free throw line 33 times that was huge and then Gater uh the three-pointers you know they took 26 they got some shots up but I the thought tonight was I mean AD showed exactly what he how he can dominate games I mean he was and impressive uh he was dominant he was strong he was physical he made good decisions and then Reeves I have to say he’s our best ball handler he’s our best point guard uh because he can do a lot of things from that position especially score and uh you know I thought ruy early on I thought uh you know the team effort it they look really good as a team and um you know Sacramento is a good team as well but the Lakers Protected Their yard and they got the victory but they needed it all right let’s go back downtown Austin Reed with Mike trudell all right Austin coming off the game-winning hoop on Christmas day you match your point total of 26 but 16 assists tonight career high what were you seeing uh reading the floor as Jackson hay says high in uh diing out your teammates tonight uh just thought it was sticking within our system oh I had some dumb turnovers and to be honest I didn’t play very well in the fourth quarter but a win’s a win and uh that’s all that matters in this league I like the critique with 26- 16 is pretty good LeBron wasn’t here you had to set your game up a little bit Anthony Davis always seems to do so as well a lot of your assists went to the big man yeah I mean the game’s easy when you play with him you just throw him the pocket pass and if he shoots shoots the floaters it’s got a high percentage of going him so shout appreciate you uh yeah it’s easy it’s easy uh to have him on your team it’s not easy to beat a team four times certainly three times in the last week you get it done against Sacramento what did it take cuz they were really pushing hard tonight yeah I mean they’ve been struggling I think they’ve lost six in a row but that isn’t that isn’t what their team is they play hard they uh they compete every possession and they got really good players uh they’ll figure out their way uh you know I can almost guarantee that like I said cuz they got too much talent and they obviously play really hard so um it’s tough to like you said beat a team four times but uh happily we could do that uh cuz we haven’t in the past couple years all right anything just coming up with these home games ahead here Austin early in the season was a lot of travel can you take advantage now of some time in Los Angeles yeah for sure it’s always great to be in uh La that means you know every off day I can go get around to golf in so uh mental will be good and uh hopefully the basketball stays good as well figured You’ get a golf Mission in there huh y for sure every day all right man appreciate it appreciate you all right thank you Mike uh let’s start with uh Austin Reeves career high and assist uh assist with 16 he also had six rebounds by the way three for four from three nine of 16 uh 26 points big game you just talked to him so about him so Rob I’ll start with you then James you can jump back in you know James hit on something about the ball handling right especially with the King not there LeBron James uh everyone kind of stepping up but AR just so comfortable in that role and did such a nice job of dictating Pace tonight as well Robin really knew when when to get that ball moving and when he can drive and take it himself and he was huge in that third quarter I know he didn’t like the way he played in the fourth but in that third Lakers separated and got up by 20 he had eight points and five assists in that run yeah you know that a 42o third quarter that’s a lot and a lot of that was led by him he getting from point A to point B in like0 2 seconds he plays his own pace which is a nice smooth pace which allows him to throw guys off because sometimes guys are so into this hectic Fast Pace that they’re playing so far ahead of you that you able to get the foul call that’s why he’s able to get to the free throw line I just thought he did a tremendous job at finding people because the best thing you can do is penetrating kick and his kick was Finding open shots Chris D ruy was knocking down threes it was just a beautiful thing to watch yeah it’s it’s amazing how like some players to handle the ball can push the pace with quickness like Rob just saying Reeds can push it with just ball handling and being a threat some guys have speed and you know they’re not as as much of a threat they have the speed Reed is a threat when he has the ball when he has a live dribble and he pushes the pace because he’s always you know looking to score or looking to go to the bucket or looking to make a pass so you don’t have to be super fast in fact I like first and second gear cuz he gets to the line he gets the you know he gets the an ones and he also doesn’t turn it over he’s not rushed so uh he’s he’s starting to be and you know and in the commercial break I just reminded myself that he did play for I believe Steve Kerr yeah it was a USA cuz he he has some status and he has some experience and it’s starting it’s starting to really show uh as a leader out there on the floor as well for me he for me he is that third guy they’re always looking for that third guy to go with LeBron and ad because those guys are just two of the best in the game so you’re always looking for that third person and look it could be D any given night ruy whomever but but Austin has really emerged as that guy and he seems comfortable in that role James said at halftime he has the trust of those star players and he has from from early on in his career Rob I’m going to show you this graphic right here that b morea producer just gave me you look at guys that have had 25 and 15 in the game and you have some some Laker ogs right there big game just how dangerous it makes this team listen when LeBron has the ball for the last 22 years there’s nobody better right but off ball he’s just as dangerous and and and what that does for him having a guy like Austin Reed where he doesn’t have to have that ball every single possession he could work and get easy buckets it’s huge for this L it’s a th% trust that LeBron has in aome Reeves and you know Rob just just pointed out something that you know it’s easy to go help quickness when someone is coming down you can go help but they don’t know whether to go help on him cuz he’s he’s making he’s making gains as he gets to the cup before you know it he’s stretching out so I I love the fact that LeBron you know he just throw it to him and have a lot of trust in him uh his teammates trust him and whether he’s handling the ball and if he’s off ball he’ll stick a three in your face face and I you know that’s what I love about him but big moments not afraid of big moments you know I love the fact that you know ruy played well you know 21 Point Ry dton came in so you’re starting to see you know a team that’s starting to understand that they they can they can they can do more with more players involved being more unpredictable and more of a threat you think about lately ruy has been knocking down threes at a high clip this dude has been averaging 20 points the last couple G he’s been playing extremely well getting to the cup not turning over but we ain’t going to talk about it because other big dogs bigp out rebound against a bonus to save the game yeah uh James can we finally put this narrative that has really bothered me like it was one-on-one it’s almost like they were the two quarterbacks but you know sabonis had had had the had the upper hand you know that stat would always come out on Twitter and every you know know he’s 8 and0 or 8-1 against ad whatever well let let’s put that to bed uh Lakers won all four games they won three times against the in 10 days and ad was absolutely dominant on a bad ankle 36 points 15 rebounds eight assists so close to that triple double Sab bonis was in foul trouble all night long and and ad was taking it to him well you know I I said it before you know you when when force is a monster you meet force with Force now and he played with a lot of uh determination and and physicality against aonis which is why he got in foul TR but early he can’t match ad when he goes at him like that yeah I’m a little disappointed in ad though no blocks ad come on you supposed to be perfect you know but think about ad we we talk about it so much on this show when you look around the league there’s not many guys that are as talented as he is his size his strength when he’s playing with force and he’s going towards the basket he’s going to get through the free throw line he’s going to put people in fou trouble and if you go back and look at the history this has been reversed it’s been sabonis being an attack going to ad the referees recognize that the referees recognize a fade away that you’ll get a foul that way and they recognize when you’re being the aggressor and he got to the line tonight yeah 13 times that’s a great Point by you guys uh James before we get to JJ you mentioned the three-pointers and you said they shot 26 of them which is a number that I think JJ would like it to be more if the game is the right kind of flow but he’ll take 14 to 26 all day long because James they were great shots ball was moving efficient 54% from three yeah I mean when the ball is moving and you got guys that are are in their spots they’re you know when someone drives they’re being patient the floor is balance you got ruy knocking down threes when the when the when the when the floor spread and especially if you know if you go on to ad first uh you can get better shots with the way they’re executed now you know for me it’s like if BRZ was here you know I want to say thank you for putting me number one on your list BR so you’re off my other list and so by the way he played that well d yeah he did play that well um it doesn’t matter about shooting threes you know they did make 14 they still scored 132 points but the thing for me is it’s about being aggressive yeah you can knock down a couple of Threes but you scored 132 points you was going aggressive you scored what 26 points from the free throw line to me that’s more vital than shooting the threes because now you think about it your best player on their team well one of their best player sabonis is over there so it makes the game a lot easier so when I talk about everybody want to shoot three and yeah that’s all good and Dy if you make them but still go to the basket when you go to the basket you can get the best player in foul trouble sometime and that makes the game a lot easier so 132 points going to the basket shooting threes you know you really look at overall it was one of their best games of the year in my opinion yeah all right let’s hear from JJ reck he’s speaking with Mike in the media hey JJ Austin has the 16 assists and AD you know the efficient shooting night what what was the action that was kind of working consistently throughout seemed like you guys are really able to get pretty good shots the whole evening we we ran a ton of different stuff tonight um you know there was some early offense stuff that we got to with the two of them there was some early offense stuff that we got to um using some of their Ducks uh s of a third party joining the party um but I just you know more it was more less of what we ran to be honest with you and just our guys’s willingness to pass it was a big emphasis in our meeting today it’s been a big emphasis for uh the last I don’t know 7 to 10 days um you know it’s a it can be a simple game with some complex ideas but we want to run we want to pass and we want to screen um and that’s really what we’ve tried to emphasize to have back-to-back games 30 whatever we had 30 assists nine turnovers um against Golden State 33 assists and 11 turnovers tonight um both those guys just the willingness to be aggressive but uh the patience to make the right play consistently and get guys shots and I think our offense just had a nice nice flow to it um the big thing for us you know I talked about it at halftime like those guys they they want to they want to play pickup you know they want to get the ball out run go one-on-one get in the paint get downhill um and they’re really good they’re really good in that environment and we did a better job in the second half it wasn’t perfect but we did a better job of setting our defense did a better job of getting back um and we wanted it to be an execution game and we we executed on the offensive end you guys have had ups and downs uh certainly this year in your most recent stretch when you’re struggling Austin wasn’t on the court uh he was out with the pelvic injury how is tonight another example of of just what he means to the program yeah just the wiggle the wiggle the ability to touch the paint in the half court um the W the ability to get two on the ball I mean that’s that’s huge for us um and when we’re stagnant and slow we can’t get to on the ball and we have a harder time touching the paint and we end up with a bad shot profile and we end up in a lot of butter situations and you know that’s just not how we want to play offense and Austin is is vital to us being able to touch the paint he’s vital to us being able to get into the blender um and and you know he was it just big time tonight from him big time a couple JJ uh Gabe talked about or I’m sorry uh Gabe went to the back at halftime or sorry whenever that happened I forgot um he took that big foul or from sabonis yeah sorry how is he doing um is there any concern about this being a big picture issue so all I know is that there there seems to be some sort of oblique uh issue um from the hit from sabonis and there’s no real update or timeline to give you uh until he gets further evaluated um and along Dave’s question in terms of Austin he he’s a guy that you know has the ability to orchestrate and dominate an offense On Any Given night um that’s not always his role on on this team it I guess how do you best view what you want from him going forwards in terms of volume of offense versus like his also like his ability to sort of fit in around other great players yeah I I don’t I don’t think that tonight is like an aberration for what he can do when we’re fully healthy um I I don’t view it that way you know I think he is going to naturally take the second or third most shots most nights I think he’s naturally going to have the ball um you know he is the primary Handler is naturally going to be involved in pick and rolls and dribble handoffs um you know when the season started we would run you know an atto or two for him every game we we kind of got away from that for a while and then he got hurt um but really just like for us a lot of the stuff we do to start halves and start quarters is all movement based and he’s a primary part of any movement stuff we do so we started running more atos for him um you know the atto to start the game drained to three the ATO to start the third quarter drained to three um so you know I think the the the movement piece and then also being able to to be the primary Handler I I just I think this is who this is who he is to me um he can he can do this nightly maybe not 16 assists I don’t want to sit the bar that high for him but you know efficient offense playmaking scoring shooting all of that K was going ask you about that just Austin Reed had 16 assists uh ad had eight assists uh what do you make of just the team’s ability to distribute the ball today yeah I mean they’re they’re a heavy you know we talked about it now for three times in the last 10 days but they’re they’re they’re paint swarm team they’re a heavy help team they’re a nail shift team they’re heavy uh pocket protect team they’re a heavy um Lowman team like there’s opportunities to pass the ball and and when the play when you’re involved in the play it’s your job to make the right read and the right decision and and those guys did it more times than not tonight last one coach the Lakers had a monster third quarter believe they outscored the Kings 42 to 24 there uh what was the biggest reason the game took a turn in your favor during that period uh we didn’t get off to uh a very good defensive start to start that quarter believe it was around the 76 75 somewhere in there um we went down and got fouled and 80 grabbed the group and he you know he he I didn’t have to say it you know he he got on him about the defense and not getting stops and we got stops we were able to score some after after misses um you know that was our that was our best defensive quarter as well and I think those things are very often correlated thanks coach thanks guys hey ruy first just individually you know you’ve been in a pretty good three-point shooting Rhythm all year but the 53 is of Golden State you hit your first four tonight what are the actions that are kind of that you’re the spots that you’re getting to and the knowledge of the offense is that contributing and where do you feel like this whole rhythm is coming from I mean yeah this this has been you know uh I’ve been working on this shots for you know years and especially since I got in the with the Lakers you know that was that has been my number one goal and you know especially playing with the Bron ad they attract a lot of Defense so it was going to be the shot for me so you know yeah this is exactly what I wanted and uh start coming out you know together so yeah I I got I got to keep shooting that yeah JJ talked about before the game expecting Sacramento’s best effort you know that they fired the coach the previous day and they did come out energetic like that how did you guys meet that moment meet the energy without LeBron and Gabe going down as well yeah we are fight up too you know especially we we we think about last year you know we got blow up you know literally we lost all five six games against them you know that throughout the season so yeah it’s a payback you know we we have to you know we have to show we got better we’re more together now and our chemistry is way better than last year so yeah it’s it’s a progress and yeah I think it shows that ruie uh reick was mentioning that during that third quarter run ad kind of talked to the team about stepping up that defensive level how important was this leadership in this game especially with LeBron out yeah we needed it you know uh he was talking that you know we we were up by like 17 or something uh after the third quarter but he was fight uh you know he was trying to get us going you know he said look look this is this is not a game yet you know we got to we got to keep you know keep attacking him so um I think that kind of you know hit us and then we we I think if he didn’t have that we kind of relaxed PTY you know uh get into the fourth quarter so I think that was a you know that was a good player by ad you know and uh yeah we got to we got to keep we need we need that lead leadership like that yeah more all R you talked about the chemistry between last year and this year can you talk about like what what’s the difference between uh the the two seasons and also um talk about the uh the way that you guys uh distribute the ball tonight yeah we’re just more comfortable to each other you know we trust each other more and yeah especially we got new coaches and yeah the player has been you know we we still missing a couple guys you know from last year so yeah we we we still building it but I think it’s more so the uh what we started you know and uh how we where we came from you know we just you know we start more you know trusting each other that’s that’s the number one key you know for this is basketball the team sports you know we we we have to with the team sports and we have to play for each other so you know yeah I think that’s the number one thing that we we we progress in it Ry um you know in recent games JJ’s kind of gone with a small ball lineup that’s kind of featured you at at Center at the five just kind of what’s what’s what’s that kind of been like for you you know what’s what’s your comfort level I guess you know play a small ball yeah just gota you know I’m I’m yeah it’s just you know small ball but you know just still gota you know play we got to be more physical than other team we got to play faster and then we got to shoot more threes you know that was the key that uh we talk about you know especially the threes part it’s like you know cuz we going now we’re going to open up the floors and yeah we can we can shoot more threes it’s just not me you know it’s everybody you know we we can you know I’m I’m faster than you know most of the five five men in this league so you know I got to use my strengths and yeah just those kind of stuff we we focus on [Music] ch [Music] [Music] [Music] NE for [Music] Alo [Music] thanks for English please English I failed already at that D you had a really good game coming off the bench looks like you’re kind of finding your Rhythm uh what’s it like going through the this you know rookie season and having the ups and downs and maintaining that confidence throughout it um I would say just move on to the next game there’s a lot of games compared to uh my schedule last year about I’m already halfway there pretty much for my college career so just take it one game at a time and good or bad move on to the next one because I have a next game coming in hey D what can you say about um Austin tonight 16 assists career high for him um just the playmaking he he he had when you know with LeBron out of the lineup yeah I’m not surprised uh you know when LeBron and AD were out uh getting a gold medal he was was playing pickup and uh I got to see that um he’s a really good uh playmaker and I think um with Braun out and he’s more of the primary guy uh it really shows that he could really play make as well as score hey Dalton anything getting anything you’re getting from facing the same opponent multiple times now in a rookie season you’ve seen the Kings a couple times yeah uh they don’t let me shoot I think that’s I think that’s the thing they definitely won’t leave me can you just talk about uh just the way you guys distribute the ball tonight and um how did that open the floor up for you guys yeah just uh getting their defense moving uh we know they’re they play Heavy in the Gap so when we got uh the ball moving uh from side to side and then it just freed up the lane especially for AR and AD to get down and do what they do thanks appreciate yall thank you sir um JJ said you bring wiggle to this team uh and really your ability to draw two Defenders and get into the paint opens up so many different layers for this offense to explore what’s kind of your mentality in in the offensive end when the ball is in your hands um just create an advantage uh if it’s for me it’s for me if it’s not um you know we want to get teams scrambling as much as possible uh you know that’s when I think that you can have really big quarters and games is when you you know get past your guy swing it to the corner that guy xes out he swings it to the you know Wing he might drive that and then backside you get a three you get a lobed ad so um really just create an advantage can you break down the kind of push ahead dribble move that you used at the end of the third quarter uh and kind of the inspiration of that move it almost looks like a sham God but it’s not quite a sham God you know what I’m talking about I don’t even know what I did to be honest with you kind of coming off a ball screen coming off a ball screen yeah uh I mean they’re aggressive Defenders uh you know Keon does a good job getting the ball dear does a good job getting in the ball and um I think if I understand what you’re saying correct it’s really just if I got those guys on my hip it’s more so nine times out of 10 the Big’s going to not stay with ad but kind of play the cat and mouse game they’re not going to fully commit to me much uh so I think it’s more so just getting that ball out there far enough to where he can’t back tap and you still have an opportunity to make a play everywhere when when you’re scoring it’s one thing but when you’re scoring and creating for others it seems like this offense goes to a different level um is there any mindset shift for you when you guys are down a playmaker like without LeBron when you’re in a starting lineup without a dowlo to to spend more energy trying to find shots for other people no it’s really just playing the game the right way um feel like my parents and my brother did a good job teaching me the game the right way uh pass it to the guy that’s open and if he’s not open to shoot a shot he can drive and kick and you can play you know Advantage Basketball but it’s really just about you know playing the game the right way trusting the the offense the system that we have uh you know it’s never you know fun to not have Braun you know he creates so much you know chaos um and you know uh security for us um but you know it’s just you know a collective group you know everybody knows that they got to step up and do something to help us be successful uh Austin can you talk about how much this system works for you and then just your ability to be a scorer in you know be a distributor yeah I mean I grew up um basically my whole life until I went to college uh you know I really enjoyed you know passing the ball uh excuse me my uh freshman year and sophomore year high school my brother was our best player um on the high school team and my job was to get him the ball um my freshman year I might average 7even eight uh sophomore year maybe 10 11 but uh you know I really enjoyed you know creating for others getting everybody going and and just helping the team be successful um but like I said it’s really you know it’s always been for me about you know just making the right play and you know sometimes I don’t do that sometimes I throw the ball to the other team and um doesn’t look good but um it worked out tonight Austin uh often JJ talks about that flow State when it comes to offense but mainly when it comes to shooting but tonight you got it done with Distributing the ball on passing when did you realize you were kind of in a really good rhythm in finding players that were open and how did you kind of make sure that continued going on throughout the game um you know kind of just like I said just you know trusting you know what the coaches have you know laid out for us to do offensively and defensively and then obviously when you make shots I made a comment there someone you know said something about the 16 assist that you know the majority of the time it’s not the the hard thing is not to you know throw the ball to the open guy you know it’s probably harder to make the shot than to throw it to the guy so you know when guys are making shots it’s uh you know you see the assist but it’s really them doing all the work there are games when going into it you know kind of what to expect out of an opponent and after a coaching change after beating a team three times after beating them twice in a week um is probably a pretty safe bet that the kings were going to start hot with energy um how encouraged were you that you guys were able to to kind of not only match that energy but maybe even exceed it early and is that a sign of growth you think for this group that in terms of having a task like that and being able to execute it yeah we knew uh they were going to come out with energy like you said um you know they’re like I said on the court they’re they’re a good basketball team they’re not you know they’re not what their record shows uh they have talent they have discipline and you know I think for the most part they play the game the right way uh and I think that they’ll figure it out but like you said they were going to come out with energy and I remember the First Media timeout I was very happy cuz I was tired because they just we score not score they dearon Fox would be up the court in two seconds uh so it’s a lot of up and downs but um you know we kind of like I said expected that and you know was very happy with how we um you know addressed that you know manage that and like you said I think it is growth I think you know you can see the growth throughout you know our group thanks thank you SD finished just two assist shy of a triple double let’s go inside the Lakers locker room he’s with brez 132 points for you guys tonight that’s the most in a in a non-overtime game what was clicking for you for me the team oh for the team yeah um we’re just sharing the basketball uh we head maybe 30 or overs or more assists not sure the exact number but 33 assists um you know playing together just you know having great offense guys are flying around uh cutting hard screening hard doing what we’re supposed to be doing and uh the ball is popping um you know 41 in the first quarter you know and the offense looks good you know kind of clean some things up and um you know guys are making shots and obviously that helps you know with the assists um you know we getting to the line and you know we just playing for each other your ankles seem just fine tonight what was the thought process were you going to play were you’re not going to play that type of thing no I was going to play yeah uh yeah it goes fine seemed like it yeah yeah you guys are trying to beat a king’s team for the third time in like a week try to sweep the season series and try to be a team that just changed the approach and so you know like that sometimes inspires accountability and effort from extra effort from the players what is it mean to to be able to handle them the way you guys did um you know obviously we we knew they were probably going to come in you know with a little bit more energy you know anytime you get a coaching change uh a trade you know anything um it kind of brings uh new life to the team in a sense um so we just wanted to you know exceed their energy exceed their physicality and uh we did a good job of that tonight uh for the most part you know fourth quarter you know was it was tough um you know starting the fourth and but for the most part I think we did a good job of um you know defending those guys and and managing you know the energy that we thought they would have um coming off the coach change said that in the uh third quarter um you guys got off to a little bit of a bad defensive start you kind of brought everybody together um and shared your thoughts about that moment um what did you see what did you say to inspire yeah you know just uh told the guys that we just got to you know be better defensively um you know obviously that you know this team plays very fast you know transition we were just scoring you know we were just you know trading buckets and um you know we’re not going to be able to do that um you know we got to rely on our defense so I just told everybody like we got to defend we got to lay our hats on on defense and you know we just kind of lock back in defensively uh start getting stops um you know to finish the third and then you know the fourth you know happened again um you know where they came out and they had eight points I want to say eight or eight points I think in a minute and 50 um you know which is unacceptable for us so you know that’s when Jay called the timeout and um we came back here and just told the guys again like yo we just got to get stops like we’re going to score you know we could never we won offensively we got to get stops and and we was able to lock back in defensively as a leader for you to challenge your that and to have them respond um I guess what’s it say with the defensive identity this team is starting to kind of put together a little bit I mean it’s easy for me just from the sense because uh they know I’m going to play defense so you can’t you know get on gods or expect Gods to do something when you’re not doing it so um on a defensive end it’s easy for me to go to gos and you know get on them or just tell them you know what we need from defensively what we need from our group defensively um knowing that I’mma you know bring it you know defensively as well and um the guys responded hey what do you take away from these three games the groups had to play about without LeBron and what can that mean moving forward if you all have to hold the fort down again I mean next man up I mean um you know when he’s not playing or you know any of our guys you know not playing um there’s always the next guy mentality and you know Gabe came in you know to that starting lineup doing what he do know until he took a shot to the hip but um you know everybody’s you know just stepping up playing well and that’s what it takes um especially defensively because his voice um especially when I’m not out there he’s usually you know directing everything uh in the second unit so um you know that was missed but you know guys had you have stepped up tonight um on the defensive end and and got stuffed and then offensively you know we just Tred to you know had a ball hopping around so um just play you know Carefree basketball with making the right decisions as as um said you know LeBron was out guys have to step up Austin just just rest stop doing that man ain’t nothing don’t let him talk to you like that my God man I love them they treat me they talk to me however any type of way it’s like my kids Man kids talk to me anytime sorry so yeah that that disrespectful guy he had uh 16 assist tonight um more volume ball handling uh what did you see from him in terms of his comfortability in that space and I guess how much of this yeah I mean uh he’s making a lot of great reads tonight you know you know reading when to shoot the ball when to get off of it make the right reads and um you now it’s when the ball is in his hands a lot especially when you know Bron’s out um especially in the first unit too he’s you know he’s our playmaker you know um he’s our point guard and uh he had to take over more you know when Gabe went out so now you know if D’s not in the game he’s our primary ball handler and um you know I Tred to do some pressure releasing you know so he’s not bringing up every time getting pressure four court but you know he made some great reads tonight you know career high 16 assists um not sure if we ever going to see that again but um you know he was making the right reads and the right plays and you know picking the spots on when to shoot when the when to pass and you know just picking the defense part off picking Rose was that a flex we just saw from him what was that from auson when you walk past I don’t know what I don’t know they always picking on me so how dare they will you get anything for LeBron for 40th will I get anything Dam he turning 40 huh it is a big milestone before I get bottle of Veno or something next little oh I got a nice yeah I got something thank you for reminding me a bad friend yes I will thank you
