Everybody else got to get themselves going.

So it was like, okay, Julian Strother is by himself in this.

So it was good to see him be able to get that.

And hopefully it's the end of seeing...

this many starters out where it's just like okay we could we could we could trust back into julian you know if you want to spark you need to see the shot go in right now it's going to go through julian so this was this was definitely a bright spot yeah i mean there's a guy who has had an amazing performance in a game six against the best team in the league so like it's is this it

Yeah.

And then also when it comes to that second unit, there's so many ups and downs like there's not really constant with them.

So there are going to be times that you need a spark and especially an offensive spark.

He does provide that at times, especially when he's able to shoot the three ball.

There's going to be times that the ball gets that it gets heavy.

You're not going to be able to make every single shot.

They are going down.

So many players have been in and out of the rotation that you just have to be ready when your time is called and you're getting minutes.

I'm sure that this was the most minutes he's got in a long time.

So really, it's like maybe him just working himself back into the rotation and playing shape.

But also, you saying that sentence, that goes to show the growth in his game or at least your belief in him this year because that was not something that you were thinking.

He was a guy that was at the very, very edge of the bench, not getting in games at all.

He was the one that you wanted to have in in this matchup.

He's grabbing boards.

He's working hard.
