What did Ty Jerome learn during his NBA journey?
I love that you guys can change who you are, especially with the Hunter part of it, splitting the bigs. You know, the minutes that you've had off the bench, you know, clearly I would have a hard time believing you're closing playoff games with the two guards that you have. But what do you see firsthand being around this team as far as your adaptability to an opponent?
Yeah, I think the biggest thing is everyone buying in. Because it is nice that we don't finish the game with Jared Allen, who I think should have been an all-star this year. And he's making whatever, close to 100. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's around there. And he's been extremely consistent for us. And he could easily throw a fit when he hasn't finished a game. Yeah.
I had a lot of teammates that would do that in the past. And this year, you don't see any of that from anybody. I mean, we go 10 deep, 11 deep. We can go 12, 13 deep on some nights. You know what I mean? So nobody complaining, nobody throwing a fit. That's what allows us to do that because everyone's just like, all right, my number is called. I got to go impact the game.
Um, and it starts with everyone's attitude there. And then, and then from there, it's the top guys like Donovan D Darius and Evan, their selflessness and ability to like, let everyone else do their thing, um, is really helpful for us as collectively too, because then it comes down to the game and, you know, you can't,
you can't go double because you know they're willing to make the pass and then you know someone else might have 15 already do you want to leave him open you know i mean so it's just the ability of us to remain selfless and it starts with our top guys obviously because we kind of you go how they go so that's really what i think the biggest thing with us is what do you think you match up better against boston or okc
I think they present real different challenges. I think the difference... Ooh, that's tough. That's real tough. Hopefully we get to see both.
Yeah, I'm surprised you've even pretended you were going to answer this this long, because I figured that would just be like, no way, I'm not giving you that, because if you pick one, then it means the other one's going to be like, all right, they're afraid of us. All right, let's look at it this way. When you were down 25-3 at Boston just a week ago,
What was it like when you're looking up and you're like, it's already 25-3? You come back. I think it says a lot about this group to come back and win that game. Sure, Boston was a couple of main starters and everything, but give me a sense of what it was like for this group being down that big to a team that you have to go through to win the East.
there was really no panic. I mean, you're right. We do have to go to them to win the East and they have a funny chance and, you know, they're a great team, rightfully so. They should be the favorites until someone knocks them off. I get all that. But, at the end of the day, for us, it really was another game.
