Cam Thomas shares this thoughts on the Nets’ loss in Toronto

POSTGAME. >> Meghan: OVERALL, WHAT GAVE YOU GUYS THE MOST TROUBLE TONIGHT AGAINST THIS RAPTORS TEAM? >> TRANSITION PIECE. IT WAS LIKE 46-10 IN TRANSITION, COMING IN WE KNEW THEY’RE BIG IN TRANSITION, THAT’S HOW THEY GET THEIR POINTS, OFF REBOUNDS, AND WE DIDN’T DO A GOOD JOB OF GETTING BACK AND CONTAINING

THEIR FAST BREAK POINTS. BUT YOU KNOW, GOTTA DO A BETTER JOB OF THAT. SO I THINK THAT WAS THE MAIN KEY TO THE GAME. >> Meghan: WITH SO MUCH NEWNESS THAT YOU GUYS ARE HAVING TO JUST MANAGE OVERALL, WHAT DO YOU GUYS TAKE THERE THIS GAME AS YOU NOW MOVE FORWARD, GETTING MORE

CONSISTENCY? >> I FEEL LIKE WE DID SOME STUFF GOOD. OBVIOUSLY, IT’S OUR FIRST GAME, JUST IT’S TOUGH, YOU KNOW. GOT A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY, OFFENSIVE STUFF, SOME OF THAT WE’RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, UNTIL WE ACTUALLY PROCESS WHAT WAS SAID AND WE’RE ALREADY AT LIKE 8, 9 SECONDS ON THE SHOT CLOCK.

I GOT A FEW GRENADES OFF EVERYBODY BEING CONFUSED, EVEN I WAS CONFUSED ON SOME OF THE OFFENSIVE PLAYS. THAT JUST COMES WITH IT, IT’S OUR FIRST GAME ACTUALLY RUNNING EVERYTHING AGAINST SOMEBODY DIFFERENT, BUT I THINK WE’LL GET USED TO IT AND FIGURE IT OUT QUICKLY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HONESTLY.

>> THE THIRD QUARTER, WHAT CHANGED WHEN YOU HIT A SHOT DOWN 61-60 AND THE RAPTORS RATTLE OFF SO IN A ROW, WHAT CHANGED FROM THAT POINT, DO YOU SIDNEY. >> I DON’T KNOW, IT WAS TOUGH. WE CAME OUT, WE HAD THE ENERGY. GETTING TO THE BUCKET. BEING AGGRESSIVE. AND THEN I DON’T KNOW,

PROBABLY JUST GOT A FEW TURNOVERS, AGAIN THE TRANSITION PIECE AND THEY STARTED GETTING OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS WHICH I THINK LED TO TWO THREES. ONE OR TWO THREES, AND THAT. SO IT’S TOUGH. YOU KNOW, IT JUST STARTED DOING WHAT THEY WERE GOOD AT, TRANSITION, GETTING OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS, SECOND-CHANCE POINTS. JUST GOTTA CLEAN THAT UP.

JUST STAY LOCKED IN FOR THE FULL 48. >> AND DO YOU, 46-10 FAST BREAK, DO YOU CHALK THAT UP TO YOUR GUYS’ TURNOVERS AND POOR SHOOTING GIVING THEM EASY RUNOUTS, SORE THAT YOU GUYS NOT GETTING BACK THE WAY YOU SHOULD? >> I’D PROBABLY SAY IT’S BOTH. JUST A LOT OF TURNOVERS AND

STUFF TO GET BACK. WE CAN SAY, WE CAN PREACHING BUT THERE’S A LOT OF TURNOVERS, TOUGH ESPECIALLY WITH ATHLETES IN THE LEAGUE FLIEK THIS LEAGUE, IT’S TOUGH. SO WE JUST GOTTA CUT DOWN ON LIVE-BALL TURNOVERS, AND OBVIOUSLY SOME OF THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST NOT GETTING BACK.

SOME OF THEM WE TAKE A SHOT AND THEN WE’RE JUST SITTING THERE WATCHING THE BALL INTO UP. I HAVE A TENDENCY TO DO IT SOMETIMES, JUST SITTING THERE WATCHING. WE GOTTA GET BETTER AND THAT AND SPRINT BACK IN, CONTAIN THE BALL, THEY MAKE SHOTS OVER US THEN WE’LL LIVE WITH THAT.

>> SAW YOU DRIVING AND KICKING A LITTLE MORE THAN IN THE PAST, YOU’VE BEEN DOING THAT MORE THE LAST FEW GAMES. WAS THERE MORE COMMITMENT TO THAT WITH THE PASS, GUYS CLOSING IN ON YOU? >> WE JUST WERE PLAYING DEFENSE. I GOT MIDDLE, SOMEBODY WOULD JUST LEAVE THEIR MAN, I DON’T

KNOW WHY THEY KEEP DOING THAT, LEAVE THEIR MAN AND LEAVE SOMEBODY OHMS, SO IT’S ME TO MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY. JUST HOW THEY WERE GUARDING, YOU GET MIDDLE OFF THE PICK-AND-ROLL, SOMEBODY JUST
