Max Strus talks about the winning ingredients of this team

Max in a league that’s averaging 115 points right now you guys hold another team to under 100 just what’s been so dominating by your defense lately it’s just our effort um more understanding that’s what it takes to win games and um you know we’re taking a personal on that

End of the floor and it’s helping everything it’s helping our offense it’s helping everybody’s mindset to just come in and know you got to play defense if you want to play why is it helping your offense getting stops and getting out running um we’re pretty good in

Transition we moved the ball really well um so it’s just it makes the game easier and it makes the game more fun when we’re getting out and sharing it and playing fast speaking of making the game easy 36 assists tonight when the ball’s moving like that how easy is it to play

It’s hard to guard I mean it just opens up things for two guys um Donovan Darius when you know other guys are making shots and they’re trusting us to make shots so um we got to keep trusting each other we got to keep enjoying each other

And um keep sharing the ball keep moving the ball and and having fun with it seven assists for you if I tracked right I think five of those were to Jared Allen what’s what’s been the key to your your Synergy with him he’s open uh no just find him good good

Situations um coming off and I told the bigs when I first got here they’re going to like me a lot cuz a lot of my passes go to them so um him and Evan have have have shown that proof of that so um I hope they

Like um you know playing in those two man games with me and um you know I try to make their lives easier CU they make mine easier a nine game win streak isn’t easy although you guys kind of make it look easy but it’s not right no not at

All not at all um just shows you the the character of our team and the toughness that we have and um just the ability to be locked in every night you know we can get LAX aicle and take a night off and but we’re not we want to win every game

We want to win every game by as much as we can and uh you know that’s what I love about this team there’s a lot of fight and there’s a lot of hunger and um guys want to be great and it’s fun sometimes when a team takes a step

Forward at one end of the floor it can come at the expense of the other you guys have risen offensively but it hasn’t come at the expense of the defensive end why I’m sorry what was the last part of that question why why is both of them working yeah got a good basketball

Team we got a good talented roster um we’re deep um and everybody can play when you know when guys get subbed out next man coming in is just as good so uh you know that that makes your team dangerous and that that’s what makes it all enjoyable sharing each other’s

Success and Jo it J was ask post game about uh you guys not getting much attention despite your success he says he really doesn’t care do you guys care at all all that matters where we’re at the end of the year to the playoffs not looking at the

Playoffs at this point already no I’m looking forward to All Star breing all right [Applause] thanks

“There is a lot of fight and there is a lot of hunger. Guys want to be great and it’s fun.”
