Intro questions from the room coach tonight uh Moss against this Wings team was obviously you know unexpected to me I'm not sure about anybody else but uh given that record it doesn't really reflect um their the actual level of play um could you just break down you know what happened you know do of course again your perspective um and you know what led up to you know the collapse at the end well we didn't defend we fouled and Well, we didn't defend. We fouled; and, we didn't rebound. And, we shot the three terrible again. we didn't rebound and we shot the three terrible again so so it's a bad combination um some of those things are in our control some of them aren't nobody's trying to miss shots um but it's tough to win on the road um when you shoot what five for 25 for 19 um 26% and then just get handled in the paint now it and it didn't really matter who I put in there big we got handled small we got handled um you know so then you try to switch gears well it's like you're not stopping anybody you're not rebounding but I mean when you look down and Asia and Jackie are high rebounders with six that's not going to get it done uh Megan 11 minutes zero rebounds Alicia Clark 22 minutes zero rebounds like it's just it's it's tough when you don't rebound the ball and then we fouled too much so uh we fou the three-point Shooters um and then gave up 32 in the fourth quarter so that's on us uh we have to figure out how to get stops down the stretch when it when it matters and we haven't shown the ability to you know keep leads which is disappointing but with a team like this who I think is super high-powered offense you have to defend giving up 93 points like we're not that good offensively this year to give up 93 we're not we haven't shot it well we haven't moved it well enough so you you better defend 90 points is enough to win a game I guess not when you give up 93 though that's not good math for us and obviously you know satu and Natasha wasn't here left talk about their impact on the game as well well I mean they're three level scorers both of them I At some point, people have to take accountability. thought sawu um got off early way too comfortable just came off pick and rolls nobody's there like at some point people have to take accountability like I'm sorry but you have to be up and pick a roll you have to be you have to block out your man you have to go help The Bigs when they have those those big bodies in there crashing every time like when you know exactly what the other team needs to do and you can't handle it that's concerning so that how do you address those concerns I can't make them do it I can't make them do it. They have to do it. they have to do it you know what am I going to do pull pull them out like anybody I put in there didn't rebound that was that was the whole whole deal and on a on a game where we do a great job moving our feet being active Zer we don't foul them on shooting fouls in the first half and then what did they shoot 19 in the second half so it's a foul shot per minute you're not winning games like that you're just not and that's just about moving our feet and it was one through five whoever I put out there um uh it falls back on all of us at the end of the day Mike VY V sorry know where V came from VY is that a nickname yeah that's my I'm I'm taking on a new a new new last name Becky actually I wanted to ask you a little bit I asked the players how how dangerous it can be to sort of face these teams down the stretch that have gotten players back either through injur or whatever I mean we saw that with Washington yesterday we've seen a believe now Dallas has scored 113 points and 93 points in two games how difficult is that I know you're not happy with your defense but how tough is it that some of these teams are are really still alive and kicking if you will well at At the end of day, your studs gotta play like studs. the end of the day I mean your studs got to play like studs all three of their all all three of their horses played like horses tonight and I mean Asia was a monster get a decent game from Jack um I thought KP was getting downhill getting people involved she probably had you know she only had five assists but probably had five or six hockey assists so she was doing a great job Distributing um didn't necessarily shoot it but she was doing some other good things for us and then we get a pretty good game out of Chelsea um but the rest got to do more around it and it had to do more with the defensive end tonight than the offensive end I mean five for 19 but the fouling the fing and the rebounding I mean really really tough and we know the deal we know the deal with them um you know we've played them in playoff series we know how they win games uh I was disappointed with the the 20 defense though the fouling undisciplined not communicating messing up on some Reds and I thought just satu and arque were in our paint downhill uh wreaking havoc and then we fouled can the defense you know you've talked about defensive issues really since before the season started that you had concerns about it is there still time for that to get better or or can it get better yeah I mean it it can well it Is there still time for the defense to get better? can get a lot better clearly um but it's the attention to detail like you know the the butter shots in the first half you could go back there um fouling the three-point Shooters like there's ways that we can shave off points just by being being disciplined being alert um arque comes and hits that three and our big is back like you know there there's two seconds left of course she's going to shoot it and we're five feet away from her six feet away from her like those buckets end up to come back to to like really bite you um and the fact like I said that um we couldn't defend our lunch thank you in the second half
