00:04good story to see there's one story that was maybe not so good to see in the game yesterday
00:09cj gardner johnson gets suspended for a game without pay dion i just wanted to ask you what
00:15what that kind of scenario is like as a team when you have a teammate that makes a choice like
00:20that
00:20what is it like as a teammate to try to go up and speak to that player as a team
00:25how do you deal
00:25with that what's that like i went like right up to him and i said i don't know what happened
00:31um i asked
00:33him what happened and and he said his version of it and i said well look bro i got i
00:39uh we're a team

01:14to be
01:15the best version of himself he's an emotional player he plays well and he and he tries but you know
01:22the coach dealt with him the way that he's dealing with him the league obviously has dealt with him
