Houston Rockets Postgame: Amen Thompson Talks Game 5 Win

and then with all the things that you guys had to think about coming into tonight the little adjustments and whatnot I’m really curious when you were walking out onto the court what was the last thing that was in your head before the ball hits um just leave it all out there you know it was win or go home so just leave it all out there no matter what it was how do you think that that has manifested itself not not just in tonight but kind of over the attitude you guys have had all season i mean I don’t really know i mean this game specifically like they said we want to go home i mean we don’t want to go home so you know Kim I mean when did you um start to really feel like yourself um you know defensively and offensively like really feel like okay I’m I’m I’m here probably like the end of the last game I was just like I got to be more aggressive i got to make an impact on this game and um I try to carry that into this game go ahead a man what happened on that little short interaction with Gary Payton second and were you surprised or happy that it was Dylan as the one to kind of pull you away from that i was funny i didn’t even know it was Dylan that pulled me away i don’t know i was just locked in you know he was the person there um so I I just had to let him know do you feel Do you feel as though you and Dylan are kind of kindred spirits in your emotion and intensity yeah I feel like he’s he’s more he’s a little bit more over the top than me i’m usually the one holding him back so it was um a good switch out um I mean when we talked this morning you said you felt like you weren’t really playing like yourself until the end of the last game safe to say today you felt fully like yourself and why do you think that is um just my mindset you know I went into the game with things I wanted to do better and um I felt like I did really good at those things man you’re the third player in NBA history to report the staff line that you had tonight the other two were Rick Barry and a lot of one tough what What does that mean to you personally i mean being being in the um list with the Keem obviously means a lot rick Barry too but um just cuz you know I go see a Keem and he always shows love so being on the list with him means a lot great thank you thanks Amanda
