Here's Finch, and this is the start of also, I told you he was crying today.
00:04
Last night, it kind of felt like he was putting it on Ant at the beginning of the game last night.
00:11
Here he is.
00:12
You mentioned kind of the energy, the spirit starts with Ant.
00:15
Is that something that you and he talk about maybe ahead of game two now?
00:19
No, I mean, what is there to talk about?
00:21
I mean, you're the leader of the team, and you've got to come out and set the tone, you know,
00:26
in all ways that that happens.
00:28
And if your shot's not going, like, you still have to carry the energy, you know?
00:35
So, you know, I don't think there's, you know, if I've got to talk to guys about having the right energy
00:43
coming into opening second-round game, then, you know, we're not on the same page.
00:51
So I play with guys.
00:53
I saw this guy today that I play with, and I haven't seen him in a long time, like six months.
00:58
And he said to me something to the effect of, you know, I'm missing shots or whatever.
01:06
And I said, listen, bro, you know this place.
01:08
These guys are all superstars.
01:10
So they don't, they're not interested in you missing shots or me missing shots or me even
01:17
having a ball.
01:18
When you don't have your shot going, you've got to do other things.
01:22
I said to them, you've got to get rebounds.
01:23
You've got to make passes.
01:25
You've got to set screens.
01:26
Or they don't want you here.
01:28
You either do something else or you're not welcome.
01:32
I play with dudes that are so good that if you don't do something else besides missed shots,
01:38
go home.
01:39
Just get in your car and go home.
01:41
Because they're not going to have it.
01:42
So you've got to do something else.
01:44
And that, I mean, you could literally, so like if there's a day when I'm not hitting shots,
01:48
man, I just become Dennis Rodman.
01:50
I go stand under the basket.
01:52
All I want is rebounds.
01:53
I'll throw elbows, anything.
01:54
Just get involved somehow, some way.
01:57
And that's what he's talking about.
01:59
Because Ann Edwards is too good to do nothing.
02:03
And that's what he did last night.
02:05
And you know a guy that never did nothing?
02:08
Michael Jordan.
02:09
He never did nothing.
02:11
He always did a lot of everything.
02:13
Even if he wasn't hitting shots, he'd sit there and get all the rebounds and make all the passes
02:19
and make all the screens and make all the plays, steals, whatever it was.
02:23
Do something else.
02:25
Ann Edwards did nothing else except Mo.
02:27
You know what I think of Mo.
02:30
Don't get me started on Mo.
02:33
That's never a good thing.
02:34
Gotta always be up, no matter how it's going.
02:37
Can't just all of a sudden shut it down and mail it in.
02:40
That's not right.
