Transcripts
I thought Davion was
to start the series fantastic and you
know
that's I feel like that's gotta when
Mike Brown looks back at this series
especially this game
I think
not playing Davion is gonna eat at him a
little bit at least I think it should
because Davion showed so many good
things against Steph
that we were all going he's making him
work oh Jeff can still get his there are
so many of those moments and today when
Steph is starting to get going and
cooking you you kind of stuck with TD
and it's not even disrespected TD not at
all Davion and TD goes out there he
works hard but davion's on ball defense
is a huge strength it's elite it is it's
so special and
um we've seen it consistently special
throughout this season and throughout
this series you know so what was it that
Mike Brown really wanted you know he
could talk about offense and just
rolling with his guy that he trusted but
man Davion Mitchell he just I feel bad
for Davion too because I just think
about a guy that probably is like
sitting here today going I could have
stopped him if I was out there longer I
could have done more and if he just had
a longer leash
um what he could accomplish out there
and he can't he can't beat himself up
for that because you can only control
what you can control in your minutes
that you are playing and so yeah I I
think Mike Brown will look back at that
too going back to Davion it's like
why not throw everything out of it I
know and that one's crushing my heart a
little bit right there we see the
highlights early in the series fans are
giving the guy a standing ovation for
just staying in front of staff and to
see him do what he did when you have
that guy and again
Steph was
these the great players get theirs no
matter what yeah but the key is everyone
every coach would say is you gotta make
guys work
