   Pissed about the turnovers, Turbo. You’ve gotta shift back into PG mode and organize the offense.
   This game was full of hero ball, and that’s not what this team is about. We trust you, big guy leave this one in the past but come on, tighten up the ball handling and look to find your teammates, especially if you’re just coming back from a minor injury.

   Translation of the Hebrew part (1:50–4:13):
   Q: In Washington, during your first three years, a 17-point game would have been considered an incredible performance. Today it’s pretty amazing to say this was actually one of your weaker games this season , with a double-double and 12 rebounds. What didn’t work? How much of it was the back, the excitement, or the fairly aggressive defense on you?
   A: They defended well. I felt like I wasn’t moving as freely today. I did come back from a pretty tough injury after missing a few games, umm… I don’t know, it just didn’t really click today. But I’m happy that at least I got to play and see all the people who came to cheer and support me, and that’s it, this game is already behind us.
   Q: Some Washington fans are saying they lost the trade for you. How does that make you feel? What goes through your mind?
   A: First of all, it’s flattering, but I don’t think anyone lost or won. I think I found a warm, loving home that believes in me and supports me, and they found the players they want to develop. Everything’s fine, it’s happened before and it’ll happen again in the future, and I can only enjoy it.
   Q: Coming back here, the emotions — we saw a lot of people cheering for you, jumping up and down and trying to get a photo with you before the game. Returning here again, what does that bring up for you?
   A: First of all, I’m happy to see the Israelis and all the fans who came out to support me. It’s not something to take for granted. I wish I could get to everyone and give them a hug and support them back. It’s emotional to have a crowd like that behind you. I try to represent and do what I can. That’s it – I’m enjoying the season and I’ll keep enjoying it, and everything’s good.
   Q: The announcement of the All-Star reserve selections is coming up. Coach Splitter said he sees you there. How do you take that, since many are confident you’ll make it?
   A: I don’t think it’s 100% certain right now that it’ll happen. Of course it’s something that would really excite me, it was one of my goals. I want to be the best player I can be, and making the All-Star team would truly be unprecedented. But I’m focused on winning and making this team better and taking it to good places, and I don’t think the All-Star is at the top of my priorities. If it happens, it’s a bonus, but I’m happy that people believe in me like that.

   Why change what’s working? Deni running point made this team what it is this year. Just because Jrue is back doesn’t mean things need to change.
