Shoot at least a little bit you know so uh they going to leave me open we got dog we got guys that they don’t want them to score and you know when I make them pay then it makes their job a little bit more easier so I know I got

To make them shots but um push the pace you know that’s one thing about me if I push the pace I might get a easy layup you know uh uh attack the rim and you know when I make a layup or not I’m not really looking to uh you know if it’s

There it’s there I’m not going to not make the layup but I want to just get down Rim down downhill and then I look for everybody else so push the pace is B basically it happy New Year Jose year happy New Year thank you year happy New
