I feel for our guys and we’re leading most of the game right. It’s a disjointed second half Sion (James) gets hit with moving screen and has to come out and Khaman Maluach was cramping and we didn’t have our normal rotation. They made plays they’re old. We didn’t make shots we gave them open looks. The game was incredibly physical we have to screen better. I’m taking Cooper Flagg any day of the week. I am proud of him he is an absolute warrior. I know those two plays didn’t go the way he would want or I would wan he absolutely willed us in that game. We’re going to be in these type of games alot. It’s not how we wanted the game to go a position for us to learn. This team has some heart and will learn from this and will keep this thing going.
