00:00Big time basketball game. I mean, that's one of the best teams in the NBA, and so are we.

00:06That's how I look at it. Great, great game. High level stuff. Stars being stars.

00:14We came up short, but not for a lack of effort. A lot of great execution. A lot of stuff that was

00:22very impressive, but we couldn't quite pull it up. Before his injury, it seemed like a lot of

00:28things were running through Jimmy, as they often do. I liked how Jimmy played. Did you? I mean,

00:34he's an alpha. He's out there, and he wants the ball, and he wants to get to the foul line, and

00:41you can just throw him the ball. You don't even have to run any offense. You just have to get spaced,

00:46and what a luxury that is. So 30 points, nine assists, one turnover. I mean, this guy, total stud.
