Cleveland Cavaliers: Max Strus — ‘It’s Gonna Be A Challenge, We’ll See If We’re Tough Enough’
you guys gave everything and outplayed them for the most part. Just how do you kind of gauge the game and the emotions that come with it afterwards? Wasn’t enough. What are the the the biggest things you know that you look on that you know you’ve got to game three coming up. You got to change. Got to find a way to win. Sam mentioned you got to find a way to mentally fight through this so that you’re ready for game three. You know, mentally take us through kind of how difficult that challenge is. It’s going to be a challenge. We’ll see if we drop enough. What do you feel like this game came down to, Max? Minute left, top seven. Can’t lose that game. Uh, just got to be better. How do you process the emotions of this one? The way that it all ended. I’ll figure it out. Is it leaned on chemistry camaraderie lobby or how can that help you in recovery? I have to keep relying on it. What can you if you can get one of or or Darius, DeAndre back, what can you expect from that one? Be great. Be great to have just looking at what Don gave you. He’s cramping at the end of the game, everything in the tank out on the floor. Just seeing a teammate do that in this type of situation. Just what does that mean for you guys and obviously what he can bring going forward in this series? down’s a warrior, but he’ll tell you himself wasn’t enough. You know, Kenny said late it seemed like guys were struggling to get open on inbounds plays. They were kind of wreaking havoc there. Just what were you seeing out there? Do you think there was anything you guys could have done differently on that final possession on Tyres’s shot? Probably. What was it? Figure it out. What type of just physical toll did this one take on everyone? Don’t know.

sounds so defeated… great game from strus just wish we couldve inbounded and boxed out
It’s over it’s over it’s over it’s over Pacers gonna win the series
Not the cavs fault they were injured, the would definitely have won, but gotta close that mf game out
Keep your chin up, Max. It’s tough to see you feeling this way, but trust that faith will guide you and your teammates through the game. Remember, you have incredible talent, and I believe in your potential. I’m hoping for your success and that you all achieve your goals.
That's how you should sound pissed!! Thank you because I'm pissed 😡!.. now get healthy and go win games three and four it's doable
Strus played well … Till the end … Just 1 in bound . Just 1 box out. And we 1 an 1
I cant believe yall can just stand around a dude in that state of mind when you know youre not going to get anything good outta him
He look like one of them doll from Team America: World Police
Strus was an absolute dog! He made a mistake at the end, but overall, he was a huge positive factor.
Shocking is an understatement. That was a demoralizing defeat. You can see it with Max's demeanor. Hopefully they can at least win 1 game. Anything short of the ECF is a major disappointment. Back to back 2nd round exits. Garland injury prone and Ty looked like a scrub out there under pressure. Okoro and Wade cant score. What a monumental collapse after a stellar season.
Cavs will be better from this. Max was heated. One play at a time. Be perfect 💪
😿
Wag kase mag angas kung meron pang oras. Pacers have comeback against the Bucks, down 7 in 33 secs and they did it again to the cavs down 5 in 45 secs. Costly turnover by Mitchel.
Damn I know max … I know…. This game had a eearily similar feeling to jr smiths 2018 blunder because that was the last time I felt this upset/defeated… but fright back cavs that’s all I can say
How about one of the guys sitting suit up and play for 5 minutes… Give us something
Virtual Hug🤗 …. this must feel like Deja vu for him
No one was complaining about injuries when they were up 20 overall or 10 with a minute. YES CERS!!!
Love from Spain Max
Unfair they interview losing teams like this..he did not want to be there.
Video interview or something.. this dude gave it everything 😢& it wasnt enough..
Why these interviews??
Smh .. respect the players 👏 hes hurting man
😭😭😭😭
How does a professional basketball player throw a ball directly to the other team?
Love this guy but he's right. Can't lose that game.
