Angel R Milligan rolling out good question question he R Red Rover and [Music] Jackie you guys on the last turnovers transition points in the first half what you like in terms of that aspect what you guys didn't think just the activity the physicality um our defense that's that's two really good defensive efforts in a row for us which that's really what we're just looking for is that consistent effort on the defensive end and we know um you know we're going to make shots on any given night but the one thing that can always travel with you is the defense so it's something that I've really challenged them on and um you know they're really digging in at the end of the day um and playing that end the floor and we kind of know we know what the deal is you know um our defense has to give us a chance to win games and I think their their locking Factor just possession by possession has been really good these last two days meaning they're present active in every possession every possession was hard for them um and that's really what we're looking for it don't foul move your feet but just make it hard and make them make shots we just want to stay solid and then to be plus 11 on the glass too you know just that's an area I read that you guys are looking to stay improved on keep working on yeah I mean because you're you're just not you might win a game or two but you're not winning any kind of championships or big games if you don't rebound um so it's been a focus for us um and it will always be a point of emphasis for us to rebound the ball I mean you do all that great defensive work and give it right back to him on a o board um it's it's a it's such a Vibe killer it's deflating um we're much better when we get that board and and then We're Off to the Races um Callie go ahead um hi two for you first uh with the early substitutions like with Jackie you kind of SED her up pretty early for um Tiffany Hayes can you kind of talk about I guess your what you were seeing that was leading you to kind of go in and out pretty quickly early I thought they were hurt they were Jackie was limping and like breathing really heavy a couple times so that's why tip came in I just I thought Jackie needed one and then when Jackie was like no I'm fine I put it right back I mean that's all that was okay got it thank you and then just that third quarter I think there have been times this season where you know the aces struggle on the third but they're not really able to rebound and this was a time where you know the Mercury tried to kind of make a run at you guys in the third but you recovered pretty well do you agree with that or what were your I guess takeaways from the third quarter um I mean I thought they it's really hard when um you know to take a punch from a team they're on their home court they got a lot of Pride they got a lot of really skilled basketball players over in that other locker room like you're not going to just they're not going to go away you got to expect a punch back they gave us a great punch um I thought they got more physical I thought they got some calls um I I just felt like some things kind of went their way um in the third quarter now that being said we were able to kind of buckle down and and get some stops I thought you know the one thing about their Zone uh you know it made us slow down you know so in a game that you have that big of a lead they're playing as Zone it kind of made us move the ball and it slowed the game down a little bit which was was good for us um in some ways because they weren't able to Speed the game up defensively being in the manto man and then just like speeding us up in different spots and then they're Off to the Races um it it made us really be disciplined on the offensive end with moving the ball cutting sharing it not that it didn't give us some problems at times it the the Zone certainly did um especially with no Chelsea out there who can really you know dissect where people are um you know I thought Jack was great stepping in but you know you you got to stay sturdy and eventually you know we stopped the bleeding but it again um you know I they're not like I said they're not going to go away you got to expect a hit like that really hard to beat a quality team by 35 points like it's just it's it's a little bit of you're playing perfect well and maybe they're making mistakes they're not gonna eventually they're going to hit shots event like they're just good players so um you know at the end of the day I was I was glad it just never got into that like under 10 range Kevin if you can keep your question short uh you can end up after Matthew Matthew go ahead hey Becky I have one quick and one longer one do you have an update on Chelsea and what her status is at this moment I do not okay and then secondly what did you think of Jackie tonight coming off the game of rest you gave her the other day and how she you said you thought early she looked winded but overall of her performance what did you think after giving her the day off well you know what's what's interesting is um first I thought she played the defensive end right and I think her offensively she just kind of went with the flow uh she was taking whatever was was given to her um they put C on her which means they have a lot of respect for her um offensively and Jackie just made the right read right read um and I think you know one thing that we always talk about we talk about uh Chelsea's mind for the game Jackie doesn't talk as much but she is crazy smart so um you know whoever whichever one of those Chelsea or or or Jackie that has the ball you you feel really good about their mind and their feel for the game um and you know one of probably Jackie's you know underrated passer and I think you saw that tonight on on a night where maybe she didn't feel she had that burst um you know because she had sat out didn't maybe feel that Rhythm offensively um you know she just dissected people with the pass and that's a really special combination to have I mean she's kind of kind of unique unque in that area and then Kevin if you can make it quick we'll close it out yes thank you um the last time we had a conversation um you talked about your team's lack of effort how would you assess your team's effort in these past two games coach good love the effort love the effort um especially the effort on the defensive end uh just super locked in with the possession by possession uh mentality you know it starts individ like stop your man obey our basketball rules defensively you know as I said if we just become more solid and do if we just stay solid in our non-negotiables defensively so we have some core principles things that we do and things we do not do and if we just do that you know I was telling them we're going to shave off 20 to 25 points off just you know things that we can control and us being solid in what we're doing and I think um at the end of the day when you're solid just be solid you don't have to try to hit home runs not offensively and not defensively take your natural swing on both ends and then the home runs will naturally happen thanks thanks coach Angel R Milligan rolling out good question question question hey r
